in the vineyard : The Muratie Cape Vintage port is produced from a single vineyard planted in 1965.The vines were planted on a modified Perold trellising system. The different varieties (Tinta Barocca, Tinta Roritz, Tinta Francesca, and Souzao) are all planted in the same block.

about the harvest: Hand Harvested

in the cellar : The hand harvested grapes are crushed, destalked and pumped into a classic open concrete fermenter. Here manual pump-overs and plunge-downs are done on a regular, continuous basis. Fermentation is initiated and at the critical stage fortification with grapespirits is done. The fortified wine is matured in old French oak barrels for a minimum of 2 years prior to being bottled.
