Muratie, the historic Stellenbosch estate well-loved for its unique old-world ambience, distinctive wines, beautiful gardens and warm hospitality, is once again hosting a superb variety of summer entertainment.

Muratie Estate has released new vintages from its range of Iconic Wines and a delicious summer menu at the Farm Kitchen: paying tribute to the estate’s rich heritage and honouring the extraordinary characters from the farm’s colourful past.

Francois, our beloved winemaker and friend tragically passed away on 13^th January 2014. He leaves behind a treasured legacy and a loving family – at home, and at Muratie.
