Meerlust, one of the Cape's most historic wine estates, was originally planted in 1693. In 1756, it was purchased by the first Myburgh and has been the pride of the family ever since. Today, after seven generations, Hannes Myburgh, the present owner, continue the great family tradition of winemaking.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThis is a juicy, opulent and rich wine that is a perfect example of the variety. The dark fruit and opulence of the wine is immediately apparent. We have been refining the viticulture to produce more balanced, flavourful fruit. Intense dark brambly fruit on the nose, mulberry, liquorice and damson plum with hints of dark chocolate and spice, tempered by a stony minerality. The medium-full bodied palate offers generous, ripe, pure Merlot fruit with refreshing acidity, structured yet silky tannins and pronounced length and minerality. There is a core of juiciness, opulence and richness typical of the variety, while the Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot lend greater complexity to the wine.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood match\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrink Meerlust Merlot with r\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eed meats, game and strong cheeses.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergen Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContains Sulphur Dioxide\/Sulphites.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"summary entry-summary\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-tabs wc-tabs-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-labelledby=\"tab-title-food-pairing\" role=\"tabpanel\" id=\"tab-food-pairing\" class=\"woocommerce-Tabs-panel woocommerce-Tabs-panel--food-pairing panel entry-content wc-tab\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Billericay Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44394339467583,"sku":"","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/3376\/5951\/products\/image_191dde32-15b4-4c88-9056-9c866b40a34d.heic?v=1674870450","url":"https:\/\/www.billericaywines.com\/products\/meerlust-merlot-75cl","provider":"Billericay Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
