Simon Faury, winemaker of Merryvale Vineyards, to pursue a career in the wine industry. After earning his Winemaking Masters in Bordeaux, he traveled extensively working in some of the world’s most prestigious wine regions of Barbaresco, Barolo, Bordeaux, and Mendoza, before settling down in Napa Valley.

In order to purchase tools or attend church, they had to undertake a long and arduous wagon journey along primitive roads to Stellenbosch. It was on their return from one such journey in 1704 that the settlers found their house burnt to the ground and the farm destroyed. Hence the estate's sad name, "Allesverloren", which means "all is lost".

Stellenbosch, South Africa
Growing fine wines on the Meerlust Estate has been part of the Myburgh family tradition for eight generations, beginning in 1756. Long recognized for producing world-class wines, the Meerlust Estate is singularly rich in charm and history. A tour of the estate, situated fifteen kilometers south of Stellenbosch, reveals its graceful manor house, classical wine cellar, family cemetery and dovecote. The first owner of the property, a German immigrant named Henning Huising, recognized the beauty and potential of the farm and settled here in 1693. He named his new-found home “Meerlust”, meaning “pleasure of the sea”, as the manor house sits on a granite outcrop only 5 km from False Bay, and in the warm summers months the vineyards are refreshed by ocean breezes and evening mists which roll in from the coast.
