WINERY MURATIE

About 45 hectares of vineyards belong to the Muratie Estate in the Knorhoek Valley in Stellenbosch. In addition to the first Pinot Noir vines in South Africa, the vineyards also played a major role in the Pinotage grape variety - because the Pinot Noir grapes used for crossing with Cinsault come from here. Other grapes grown include Shiraz, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Tinta Roriz and Cabernet Franc.
On the winery, everything is relaxed, so the vines grow and thrive in peace to perfect maturity. The soils are natural, geese and ducks wander through the vineyards for pest control. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand. A second selection of the grapes guarantees that only the best material reaches the cellar.
