Meerlust Excels at Platters Wine Guide 2017
published on:

The Platter’s by Diners Club South African Wine Guide 2017 was launched at Cape Town’s The Table Bay Hotel on 31 October 2016 with over 200 guests in attendance, the VIPs including wine producers who had achieved the maximum five star rating in the new edition – reserved for wines that are “South African classics”.

The entire Meerlust range of wines were nominated for a Five Star award in the Platters Wine Guide 2017 and the Chardonnay 2015 triumphed. The Rubicon 2012 & 2013, Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, Pinot Noir 2015  and Merlot 2014  received 4.5 Stars.

A total of 94 Five Star wines, as well as one new Five Star brandy, are featured in the 2017 guide. Publisher of Platter’s by Diners Club, Jean-Pierre Rossouw, says: “As per last year, all wines that were scored 4.5 stars or higher in the primary assessment went into a second round of tasting, conducted blind (without sight of the label) by small panels including experienced palates from outside the team. It is testament to the exceptional quality of the highly regarded 2015 vintage that we saw a good run of results, particularly in the white wine categories. Hearty congratulations to all winners!”
