While the vines on Muratie Wine Estate are peacefully enjoying their winter sleep, the work on the farm never stands still. Our team has been busy with pre-pruning, trellising of young vineyards, and preparing exciting new vintages for bottling. We are thankful for the ideal cold and wet season so far.
We are proud to present the new vintage release of one of our flagship wines – the Martin Melck Cabernet Sauvignon Family Reserve 2022. Crafted with exceptional care from selected vineyard blocks, this vintage reflects the depth, elegance, and age-worthiness that defines Muratie’s legacy. Rich and full-bodied, with layers of dark fruit, subtle spice, and well-integrated oak, it’s a true expression of our heritage and a fine tribute to Martin Melck’s vision. Only 294 cases have been produced, making this limited release a collector’s item for true wine enthusiasts. Now available at the estate and online.
