Experience life on this working wine farm in the Stellenbosch wine
region. Muratie is as old as history itself, lying at the foot of the
Simonsberg with a view of Table Mountain, guarded over by ancient oak
trees you will find Muratie, a treasure to be enjoyed. The old
fermentation tanks in the cellar with their tartaric encrusted walls,
old carpets, wooden furniture and original art is where you will enjoy
honest farm food, good wine and great company. Become part of the magic
of Muratie and stay over in the studio of the famous SA artist G.P.
Canitz. A perfect little paradise providing comfort, peace and beauty.
Muratie’s wines, in the words of the late Ronnie Melck, “humble, honest
and full of integrity, with quality being the only answer”. Ronald
(Ronnie) Rijk Melck, one of the great characters of the South African
wine industry, became the 21st owner of Muratie and, in doing so,
fulfilled a lifelong dream.
This very popular wine man, possessed of a legendary palate, warm
personality and an instinctive flare for winemaking, initiated the
redevelopment of Muratie, which has taken the farm to what it is today.
Ronnie left the Muratie legacy in trust to his family and the farm is at
present under the dedicated management of his children.
