Description
Meerlust Estate's Pinot Noir 750ML is a highly regarded wine that has been produced by the Myburgh family since 1756. The eighth generation owner, Hannes Myburgh, continues the family's tradition of dedication to winemaking. The 2012 vintage was particularly exceptional, with a strong aroma of red berry fruit, musk, wild mushrooms, and hints of savory richness and spice. On the palate, the wine offers pure Pinot fruit flavors, including red cherry and musk, with a clean, vibrant minerality. The wine has a complex and elegant character, with fine tannins and a long finish. It can be aged for up to 6 years if stored in ideal cellar conditions and is best served at 16-18C. This Pinot Noir pairs well with a variety of dishes, including white and red meats, duck, Parma ham, grilled line fish, tuna, wild mushrooms, and traditional cheeses.
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, eighth generation custodian of this seventeenth-century national monument.
