The Story is more than a wine; it’s a celebration of Muratie’s remarkable 340-year journey in South Africa’s wine industry. Established in 1685, Muratie stands as one of the oldest wine estates in the country, a testament to centuries of heritage, passion, and craftsmanship. This exceptional wine is a tribute to the pioneers, dreamers, and visionaries who cultivated our vineyards and shaped our history.

The Story reflects the unique terroir of Stellenbosch, offering a rich tapestry of flavours that echo the timeless connection between land and vine.
in the vineyard : The Story is harvested from select blocks of our Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc vineyards, rooted in Muratie’s ancient decomposed granite soils. These low-yielding vines, cooled by maritime breezes, produce intensely flavoured berries that form the backbone of this structured and expressive blend.
about the harvest: Hand-harvested grapes from Muratie’s historic vineyards were fermented in open-top tanks with gentle punch-downs for optimal flavour and colour extraction.
in the cellar : The wine was then matured for 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels, developing depth and structure. Rich dark fruit, subtle spice, and earthy notes come together in a refined, elegant expression of our 340-year winemaking legacy.
