MURATIE WINE ESTATE

Underfoot the land breathes. From the centuries-old oaks to the resting cellar and original homestead, a romance lingers of love, passion, grapes, art, life – of the story of a wine farm in Africa.

Comfortable with visitors, but not crowds, the farm echoes old-world hospitality. The environment is authentic, the methods traditional and the surrounds, beautiful and unmanicured. The farm itself exudes honesty, humbleness and integrity – qualities that resonate in every drop of Muratie wine.

BACKSBERG

Backsberg has become the first wine producer in South Africa and third in the world to gain Carbon Neutral status by sequestrating its carbon emissions.

Proprietor, Michael Back, who joined the family business in 1976, is passionate about the environment, believing that each generation is the custodian of the land for a limited period of time only.

“Care for the environment means care and concern for succeeding generations. As custodians of the land, it is our duty to understand and recognise potential threats, and to mitigate against them for the benefit of the next generation,” says Back whose forward thinking has already rescued several plant species from extinction by reserving 10% of his land for non-development and preservation of the endangered “Fynbos” biome.

ROBERTSON

Established in 1941, Robertson Winery is recognised today as one of South Africa's leading cellars. The fertile Robertson Valley with its variety of meso-climates and soil conditions create a wide spectrum of terroirs, allowing us to produce an exciting diversity of wine styles.

REYNEKE

The Reyneke label was created in 1998 when Johan Reyneke Jr. took over the farming activities from his mother and produced the first wines on the family farm, Uitzicht. The 20ha farm faces the historic town of Stellenbosch and overlooks the surrounding mountain ranges and the beautiful False Bay.

Since inception, Johan has moved from farming conventionally to farming organically and finally to farming and producing his wines in accordance with biodynamic principles. He is currently one of only a few winemakers in SA who produce biodynamic wines and is considered somewhat of a ground- breaker in this regard.

TOPAZ WINES

The essence of garage wine is when a crazy dream and a huge passion for wine becomes a reality, follows you home and lands up becoming a special part of your every day life. This is what happened to Clive Torr and Tanja Beutler at 26 Topaz Street.

A qualified winemaker and the youngest Cape Wine Master, Clive has been making one barrel of wine in his garage for several years. When it comes to harvesting, pressing, bottling or labelling, he manages to get all his friends to pitch in, with the promise of a few delicious wines while they work!
