Muratie, one of South Africa's oldest wine estates, is located in the Knorhoek Valley near Stellenbosch.

Tasting Notes
Pair this Cabernet Franc with the aria "Il Balen del Suo Sorriso" from Verdi's Il Trovatore. The aria’s rich baritone melody, filled with emotional depth and longing, mirrors the wine's bold and powerful profile of plum, chocolate, and tobacco. Just as the aria evolves with intensity and warmth, the wine's ripe berry fruit and complex paprika spice unfold on the palate, creating a captivating and harmonious experience.
Food Pairing
This Cabernet Franc pairs beautifully with red meat and hearty dishes, enhancing the savory depth of a South African “braai” grilled steaks, roasted lamb, or flavorful casseroles and stews, making it a perfect complement to any rich meal.
Wine Makers Note
Aged for 13 months in French barriques.
