Muratie Laurens Campher Chenin Blanc is made from meticulously sourced grapes from different sites and slopes. Vineyards vary in age from 10 – 15 years old. The Chenin Blanc is from an old north facing bush vine block with low yields and good fruit purity.
The German soldier Laurens Campher was the first person to farm on Muratie from 1685. He was officially granted ownership of De Driesprong, as Muratie was originally known, in February 1699 by the then governor of the Dutch Cape Colony, Simon van der Stel. His instruction upon receiving the title deed of the farm was to “bezaayen, beplanten, bepoten, betimmeren“ – and failure to properly cultivate the farm would see him having to return it to the authorities. Today Muratie’s flagship white blend carries the name of our pioneer farmer.
