Muratie Family Reserve Martin Melck Cabernet Sauvignon - In special years, certain barrels of Muratie’s Simonsberg Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon are so exceptional in terms of their fruit intensity, structure and balance that they deserve to be held back and bottled separately. In this full bodied, opulent wine, the black berries, currants and plums are almost Crème de Cassis like in their concentration; the oak integration is seamless while imparting an exotic spice perfume. A wine to cellar for at least five years before savouring slowly.
The Muratie Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is sourced from a site-specific vineyard. This block was earmarked due to its unique location. Situated at the foot of the Simonsberg Mountain.
The grapes were handpicked yielding 6 tons per hectare.
Grapes are destalked, berries are hand sorted prior to being crushed and pumped into a combination of stainless steel and open fermenters. A controlled fermentation was ensured and regular pump overs and punch downs were done. Matured in 100% new
French Oak for 22 months. The fruit, tannin structure and fine acidity indicates a wine of balance and finesse reflective of the Simonsberg terroir
