Just as the history of Muratie dates back centuries, so does the Melck family vintage. And over the years they have invested in their staff this sense of family. Social upliftment has long been a cornerstone of Muratie's culture. Thus everyone on the farm is steeped in knowledge of the growing and winemaking processes - working as one for the betterment of all, as all close families do.

in the vineyard : Crafted from meticulously selected grapes sourced from diverse slopes, this wine reflects our commitment to quality. Only grapes harvested at optimal ripeness were chosen to ensure purity of fruit and exceptional characteristics.

about the harvest: The grapes are harvested by hand and after being sorted, crushed and destalked are transferred to the press.

in the cellar : Two and a half hours of skin contact allows for flavour extraction, after which the grapes are gently pressed and the juice pumped to a stainless steel tank to settle overnight. The juice is then racked and pumped into stainless steel tanks for a combination of wild and inoculated fermentation. Cold fermentation at 12-16 °C allows for a slow and steady fermentation, resulting in a crisp, and fruity wine.
