Long recognised for producing world-class wines, Meerlust Estate has been the pride of the Myburgh family since 1756. Today, the traditional dedication to the art of winemaking continues under the guidance of Hannes Myburgh, the 8^th generation custodian of this 17^th Century National Monument.

Situated 15 kilometres south of Stellenbosch, with the blue crescent of False Bay a mere 5 kilometres away, Meerlust boasts a historic Manor House, classic wine cellar, rose garden, family cemetery, dovecote and bird sanctuary. Wines are only made from grapes grown on the Estate which is uniquely positioned for the production of wines with exceptional complexity and character.

Visitors to the Estate – a National Monument – have for centuries anticipated seeing the cool, white façade of the Manor House as they passed through the gates and along the palm and oak tree-lined drive.  Not much has changed. Today, that sense of having arrived at a most treasured home and estate is enhanced by the knowledge – on seeing the sweep of vineyards that flank the drive – that here grow the grapes of the prized Meerlust wines.

Contemporary Meerlust is an exciting fusion of the refreshingly modern and the tirelessly classical.
