Product information "Muratie Ronnie Melck Syrah Family Selection 2019"
With concentrated berry aromas, the Muratie Ronnie Melck Syrah Family Selection pampers the senses of every red wine lover from the very first moment. The expressive and refined Syrah also impresses on the palate with rich fruit notes such as blackberries, cherries or blackcurrants. A hint of black olives, pepper and smoky undertones give the red wine a spicy component. Fine tannins and a long-lasting finish make the pleasure experience perfect. The grapes used for the Muratie Ronnie Melck Syrah Family Selection come from a very old vineyard in a single vineyard site that was planted as early as 1977. Since the yield is only two tonnes per hectare, the red wine, which is dedicated to the former owner of the estate, Ronnie Melck, is also only produced in very limited quantities. Enjoy the wine, which is aged for sixteen months in French oak and whose bottles are numbered by hand, pure. However, the red wine is also a wonderful combination with spicy, game or dark meat.

Muratie Wine for the Gourmet
Muratie in South Africa produces premium wine for gourmets. Wine novices as well as connoisseurs find the right red or white wine in a variety of ranges. All Muratie wines have in common a particular, individual character and offer an excellent price-quality ratio.
The Muratie Vineyard
The vineyard Muratie attaches great importance to careful handling of the vines at the wine slope. The yard is a member of the Biodiversity and Wine Initiative and does not use herbicides. Only geese, ducks and turkeys are used for pest control. This natural approach shows in the Muratie wine, especially as the wine growers still hand-pick the grapes to avoid peel damage. The Muratie winery owns 45 hectares of cultivation area on which red as well as white grape varieties are planted. The soil is relatively dry which is why the land is watered after the harvest. Only by doing this, the winemakers can supply the next vintage with sufficient nutrients. The 300-year-old yard offers great products in all types of wine, but especially the Shiraz caused a stir internationally.
The Landscape around Muratie
Muratie wine benefits from the good location in South Africa, but even more from the passionate winemakers who deliver premium wine of an international level, year after year, and with great love for detail. Who ever visited Muratie surely noticed the many oak trees - these used to be considered as a protection against wild animals. Nowadays, they make for a breath-taking atmosphere for guests and wine enthusiasts who visit Muratie.
