On the 19th September Meridian Wine Merchants celebrate 21 years of linking wine with people. Thanks to our clients and customers for supporting us through the years.

What a journey it has been since Alex Dale and Johan Laubscher set up a distribution company for their wines. 

Today, Meridian markets and distributes 40 wine brands from 21 family-owned farms with our customers across South Africa and Africa. It's a daily pleasure to connect our portfolio of premium wines with people to add to their enjoyment of life while building a sustainable future for our brands and our company.

Take a look at our journey.

Marras wines from the Swartland has released a pair of light summer red wines from Piekenierskloof: The Trickster Cinsault and The Trickster Pinotage.  

In mythology, folklore and religion, the trickster is a character who uses great intellect or secret knowledge to play tricks or disobey normal rules and conventional behaviour which is the approach Martin Lamprecht has taken in crafting these two mouth-watering wines. Both wines have been cold fermented and whole bunch pressed for vibrancy and attractive primary fruit character.

The Cinsault is a light and succulent summer red wine with notes of raspberries, cherries and pomegranate.The Pinotage is soft, smooth and easy-drinking with notes of rose petals, cranberries and candy floss. 

“I want people to drink my wines and think of these mountain ranges, unique and untouched.” , David Nieuwoudt

Did you know Cederberg Private Cellar has the highest vineyards in the Western Cape?

Winemaker visionary, David Nieuwoudt’s multi award-winning wines grow at 1 036 meters above sea level between Citrusdal and Clanwilliam with two mountain ranges that separate the farm from the Olifants river. Cederberg’s steep vineyards are naturally exposed to cooling breezes that cool down the vines creating more concentrated flavours in the grapes. The pure, virus-free vineyards create an ideal environment for grapes to grow and thrive.
