The Meerlust Natural Selection Lot



The Lot Info
The Lot Summary
Natural Selection has its roots in the African Safari business. Founders Dave, Colin, Jen and James are old friends who began their careers as guides in the bush many moons ago. They are devoted to the simple premise that safari tourism, when done correctly, is an incredibly powerful tool for conserving and protecting Africa’s last great wild places. Their deep commitment is matched only by their devotion to providing guests with the most unique and extraordinary experiences out there.
The winning bidder will receive an incredible Rubicon collection of twenty vintages from 1997 – 2016 which will include the Meerlust Red 2002 and 2011. As no Rubicon was produced in 2002 and 2011 the wine was de-classified and sold as Red. In addition the bidder will receive a six bottle case of Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon 1975. The first wine ever to be released under the Meerlust label.
The lot includes a weekend stay for two couples in the “Quarters” at Meerlust. In addition, eight guests will be invited to a private luncheon at the Meerlust homestead hosted by Hannes Myburgh. Not open to the public, this house has been the family home for the Myburgh family for 264 years.
