Muratie Wine Estate unveils a new Cabernet Franc as a tribute to the estate's sixth owner.

Muratie Wine Estate is delighted to unveil the Muratie Hercules du Preez 2022, a tribute to the calm sophistication and French-inspired elegance of Hercules the Third, the estate’s sixth owner.

This medium-bodied Cabernet Franc is a masterpiece crafted from a single vineyard block planted in 2002. Grown in the distinctive Simonsberg terroir, the Hercules du Preez 2022 offers a sensory journey through concentrated dark fruit flavours, subtle bell pepper notes, and a touch of cedarwood. Its fresh acidity and fine tannins provide a harmonious balance that speaks to its refinement.

Aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, this wine is the epitome of balance and finesse. While it is a pleasure to enjoy now, those who choose to cellar it will be rewarded with even greater depth and complexity in the years to come.

The Hercules du Preez 2022 pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roasted pork, or stuffed red peppers, making it an ideal companion for memorable meals.

Celebrate the legacy of Hercules and experience the artistry of Muratie in every bottle. The Hercules du Preez 2022 is available now – don’t miss the chance to savour its charm and sophistication!
