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
Remember when your bestie rocked up at school with the real-deal Tamagotchi, while you were stuck with some dodgy 'Pet-You-Can-Name-But-It-Just-Dies' thing? Or how the whole school had proper Pokémon cards, and you were trying to trade your knock-off 'Pocket Monsters' that looked like Pikachu with a babalas? Ja, we've all been there. You smile and pretend it's the same, but deep down you know... it's not.
It's the same with clothes. We all know that feeling of walking around in some questionable knock-off brand while your mates are flexing the real thing. The heartache of knowing that no one's impressed by your 'Splingboks' shirt...
Let's be honest: nothing beats the original. Which means nothing can beat our deal on a Springboks Golf Shirt from Varkhart. Wear it with pride!
