The land where the farm is now situated was originally owned by a powerful and wealthy free burgher named Henning Huising. After his death in 1713 the estate passed through many hands until it was bought in 1756 by Johannes Albertus Myburgh - and has remained in the Myburgh family ever since. Nicholaas Myburgh (7th generation of the Myburgh family, and father of present owner Hannes Myburgh) took over the farm in 1950, but the condition of the property had declined severely from its 18th century splendor. Nicolaas set about an extensive restoration of both the buildings and the vineyards. One of his first projects was the construction of a damn that allows for irrigation in exceptionally dry years, but is usually used only after the vintage. He also replanted the vineyards with mainly red varietals. The farm is approximately 15 kilometers outside Stellenbosch, and is the Stellenbosch estate nearest the Indian Ocean (the name Meerlust is of German origin, and translates to \"pleasure of the sea\"). The cooling breezes off False Bay allow a slower, steadier ripening period for the grapes. This translates to less loss of fruit aromas, and there is also a lesser risk of a crop being ruined in the event of a sudden, dramatic rise in temperature.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-12-27T15:13:13-05:00","created_at":"2023-12-23T07:01:27-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_South Africa","Other_Wine","Producer_Meerlust","Ramzo2112","Region_Western Cape","Source_WineOnlineDelivery1223","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Chardonnay"],"price":7495,"price_min":7495,"price_max":7495,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44098473689226,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2018 | Meerlust | Chardonnay","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":7495,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/41_46c1308b-3166-4fc1-882b-c567400aefea.png?v=1703332955"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/41_46c1308b-3166-4fc1-882b-c567400aefea.png?v=1703332955","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2018 | Meerlust | Chardonnay at CaskCartel.com","id":25746356535434,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.334,"height":464,"width":155,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/41_46c1308b-3166-4fc1-882b-c567400aefea.png?v=1703332955"},"aspect_ratio":0.334,"height":464,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/41_46c1308b-3166-4fc1-882b-c567400aefea.png?v=1703332955","width":155}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2018 | Meerlust | Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis smells clean and attractive right from the start, with soft toasted-apple and pear aromas at the core and accents of fynbos and singed lime rind atop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.
