Meinert Wines
The farm lies on the slopes of Devon Valley’s northern ridge and rises from 200m to 310m above sea level. The whole site has a southerly aspect with grand views of False Bay and the mountains surrounding Stellenbosch. The winery was built in 1990 with commercial production beginning with the 1997 vintage. In the beautiful valleys of the Western Cape, South Africa, two of the country’s Master Wine makers get together to bring us masterful boutique wines. With a collective 45 years of travel, studies and experience, the winemakers at Meinert are set to delight as they add to their already impressive vintages.
Description
Meinert Merlot in its classic, elegant and refined style forms the core of our portfolio and is a wine we are particularly passionate about. Merlot is perfectly suited to the unique terroir of our hillside Devon Valley vineyards. Drink from release to 2030. As our vines mature with every passing vintage so the wines become richer and more textured without the fear of clumsy, dull fruit expression. Our focus on ‘turbo charged’ Merlot that bridges the gap between the New and Old Worlds is still very much the focal point and the embodiment of our philosophy of farming vine-for-vine and berry-by-berry.
Food Pairing
Best enjoyed with hearty meat dishes including lamb, beef, venison, quail, guinea fowl and duck. Hugely versatile in every respect.
