About the winery
Steeped in history since 1756, Meerlust Estate is renowned for its world-class wines. Guided by 8th generation custodian Hannes Myburgh and situated near False Bay, 15km from Stellenbosch, the estate benefits from oceanic influences that enhance grape quality. A pioneer of Bordeaux varietals in South Africa, Meerlust introduced the iconic Rubicon blend in 1980, marking a new era in South Africa winemaking. Today, this legacy is upheld by Wim Truter, the third Cellar Master in nearly 50 years, who brings a strong background in Chemistry, Oenology, and Viticulture, along with international experience. His dedication to quality and terroir-driven winemaking ensures each Meerlust wine reflects the estate's exceptional character.
