Chardonnay, Meerlust, Stellenbosch, South Africa 2022
Regular price £28.80
Complex, appealing nose with pear, citrus and floral notes developing into lemon cream, oatmeal and marzipan richness. On the palate the wine is medium bodied and linear but retains generous focused citrus fruit flavours with sleek, balanced and crisp acidity. Vivacious and fresh on the finish with clean citrus fruit and stony minerality.
White Chardonnay 13%Meerlust
Purchased in 1756, Meerlust may rank among Stellenbosch’s absolute cult names. With a rich history and a wide range of international awards, this winery is one of the top wineries in Stellenbosch and South Africa. Meerlust’s flagship wine, which freely translates as ‘the pleasure of the sea’, is Rubicon, a Bordeaux blend that can easily develop for years in the bottle and rival the top Bordeaux wines. The Myburgh family finds that the volcanic ‘primeval granite’ in the area is extremely suitable for viticulture, which is soon reflected in the distinctive results of the Meerlust wines. The vineyards are planted in a similar way to the Médoc, with the Cabernet varieties on soils with more gravel and drainage, and the Merlot growing on clayey granite compositions. In November 2019, winemaker Wim Truter joined Meerlust, taking over from Chris Williams to become only the third winemaker to take the reins at this historic estate.
