The ancient oaks at Muratie Wine Estate are shedding their leaves and acorns aplenty. The colours on the farm are steadily changing from green to yellow, orange, brown and red. All sure signs that autumn is here, but our cellar team is still hard at work. This week we harvested our prized twenty-three-year-old block of Hanepoot (Muscat d'Alexandrie) for the enigmatic, alluring Amber Forever dessert wine. The red grapes are coming in thick and fast too, with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz all showing exceptional promise for the 2024 vintage.
Join us for our upcoming events, or simply to enjoy a leisurely lunch or wine tasting. The beautiful palette of autumn beckons for a long walk on the werf, or take the time to explore our scenic Simonsberg hiking or MTB trails.
