What defines Meerlust Merlot 2022 is its sense of proportion. Merlot is handled with restraint, allowing fruit, freshness and oak to integrate seamlessly. The wine avoids sweetness and heaviness, instead offering silky texture, layered complexity and quiet confidence. It is a Merlot for those who appreciate structure, balance and long-term elegance rather than immediate impact.
Tasting Notes
Delicate salmon-pink with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is bright and expressive, showing wild strawberry, raspberry, rose petal and hints of citrus zest. On the palate, the wine is crisp and lively — fresh red berries, subtle floral notes and clean acidity glide across fine bubbles. The finish is dry, refreshing and energetic, leaving a light mineral echo.
Food Pairing
This sparkling rosé is wonderfully versatile at the table. It shines as an aperitif, yet pairs beautifully with seafood, sushi, light salads, soft cheeses and elegant canapés. Its freshness also complements brunch dishes and celebratory bites, making it a natural choice for both casual gatherings and festive occasions.

Description
Meerlust is one of South Africa’s most respected estates, known for wines that favour balance, longevity and classical European influence over excess ripeness. The 2022 Merlot reflects this philosophy beautifully. It is composed rather than flashy, delivering depth, freshness and polish in equal measure. This is a Merlot that speaks softly but confidently, rewarding attention rather than demanding it.
