in the vineyard : In 1927 Muratie was the first estate in South Africa to plant Pinot Noir. The owner of the farm, George Paul Canitz, and Professor Perold experimented with Pinot Noir on Muratie. Hence George Paul Canitz's famous quote: "Muratie Burgundy is a tonic" and "Muratie Burgundy is bottled sunshine".

The Pinot Noir vines are planted at 330m above sea level on North West facing slopes. The Table Mountain sandstone soil is rich in its moisture retaining potential, hence the dryland vineyards. The vines are a combination of 113 and 115 and 777 clones, grafted on Richter 110, 99 and planted in 1991 and 2002. Perold trellising system is being used.
