Meerlust Estate

Meerlust Estate, cherished by the Myburgh family since 1756, epitomizes winemaking excellence across eight generations, now under Hannes Myburgh's stewardship. Situated 15 kilometres south of Stellenbosch, with False Bay just five kilometres away, Meerlust's vineyards yield grapes exclusively for its exceptional wines. The estate's allure lies in its historic manor house, wine cellar, and natural features like the family cemetery and bird sanctuary. Originating in 1693, the estate's name, "Meerlust" (meaning "pleasure of the sea"), reflects its coastal proximity and the refreshing ocean influence on its vineyards.
