The Meerlust Pinot Noir comes from the historic Meerlust Estate in Stellenbosch, which is known for its characterful wines. This Pinot Noir embodies the terroir of South Africa with elegance and finesse.

In the glass, the wine displays a brilliant ruby red color. The nose is treated to intense aromas of red berries such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle notes of spices, dried herbs, and a hint of earthy nuances. On the palate, it is silky with well-integrated tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, harmonious finish.

The hand-harvested grapes come from the cooler plots of the Meerlust vineyard. After careful selection, fermentation takes place in open tanks to optimally preserve the aromas. This red wine is then aged in French barriques, which lend it a subtle spiciness and additional structure.

The Meerlust Pinot Noir is a versatile pairing for meals. It pairs superbly with braised duck, rack of lamb, grilled tuna, or mushroom risotto. It is also an excellent choice with medium-bodied cheeses.

An expressive Pinot Noir with a South African character—ideal for connoisseurs who appreciate refined, elegant wines.

Meerlust Wine Estate

Meerlust produziert Weine die den puren Charakter der Weingärten widerspiegeln. Die Unterschiedlichkeit des Bodens, das einmalige Küstenklima und die mehr als 300 Jahre lange Erfahrung sorgen für Komplexe, reiche, harmonische und kennzeichnende Weine.Das Weingut Meerlust liegt im Weinbaugebiet Stellenbosch am Ufer des Eersteriver und wurde schon 1693 von dem Deutschen Henning Hussing gegründet, der auch das heute noch erhaltene kapholländische Herrenhaus 1693 baute. Seit 1756 befindet sich das Weingut im Besitz der Familie Myburgh - heute in der achten Generation. Das gesamte Anwesen beeindruckt schon von außen, denn alle Häuser sind wahre Schätze der kapholländischen Architektur und stehen unter Denkmalschutz. Das Klima ist kühl und der gute Boden besteht aus verwittertem Granit. Winzer ist der einzige italienische Winzer am Kap Giorgio Dalla Cia, der bereits seit 1978 für ein gleich bleibendes, hohes Niveau im Stil der alten Welt sorgt.

Auf 160 ha werden Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir und Chardonnay angebaut. Hinzu kommen experimentelle Rebflächen mit Petit Verdot, Viognier und Sauvignon Blanc. Alle Meerlust-Weine werden stets in französischen Barriques ausgebaut, allen voran das Flagschiff Rubicon, eine Cabernet Sauvignon-dominierte Cuvee mit Merlot und Cabernet Franc, die 24 Monate im kleinen Faß reift und so eine Lagerfähigkeit von 15 bis 20 Jahren erreicht.

Andere Weine sind ein Pinot Noir, ein im Barrique ausgebauter Chardonnay sowie ein Merlot, der stets mit etwa 10% Cabernet Sauvignon verschnitten wird. In den letzten zwei Jahren wurde mit der Dalla Cia-Range eine neue, früh zugängliche Art von Weinen auf den Markt gebracht. Die Range besteht heute aus einem Chardonnay und einem Sauvignon Blanc, die zwar nicht die Qualität der übrigen Weine erreichen, dafür aber preiswerter sind. Auf Meerlust wird auch seit 1996 Grappa von Pinot Noir-Chardonnay und von Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon destilliert. Letzterer reift sechs Monate in gebrauchten Barriques.
