Long recognized for producing world-class wines, Meerlust Estate has been the pride of the Myburgh family since 1756. Today, the traditional dedication to the art of winemaking continues under the guidance of Hannes Myburgh, eighth generation custodian of this seventeenth-century national monument.
Meerlust, with its historic manor house, classic wine cellar, family cemetery, dovecote and bird sanctuary is situated fifteen kilometers south of Stellenbosch, with the blue crescent of False Bay a mere five kilometers away. Wines are only made from grapes grown on the Estate which is uniquely positioned for the production of wines with exceptional complexity and character.
In the summertime, ocean breezes and evening mists roll in from the coast to cool the vineyards. The grapes ripen slowly, thus achieving full, concentrated varietal flavours. The soils consist of predominantly deep, well drained Hutton and Clovelly soil types, affording the vines excellent drought resistance and an ideal substrata for producing concentrated, complex wines
Extreme sports. There are loads of them, and all of us - at one point or another - have flirted with the idea of trying one sometime. Maybe. You know like... one day. Probably. Probably not though.
From skydiving and bungee jumping to whitewater rafting and spelunking (look it up), there are plenty of activities that get the adrenaline pumping and the parents worried. Some of us think the people who partake in such activities are crazy, others think they're totally badass.
You know the most extreme sport of the lot, though? Going through life with a phone that has no cover or screen protector on it. Now that makes us nervous! Please, be better and check out our deal on 5x Lito tempered glass screen protectors for iPhone or Samsung.
