Crafted in honor of Muratie’s legendary winemaker Ben Prins, this Cape Vintage blend is a rich, soulful expression of Stellenbosch terroir and fortified winemaking tradition. Aromas of violets, rose petals, and Christmas spices lead into an indulgent palate of kirsch-soaked black cherries, plum pudding, and dark chocolate-coated hazelnuts. Layers of truffle, cigar box, and savory spice add depth, while the brisk acidity and warming spirit balance the wine’s powerful structure. Aged for two years in seasoned 225L French oak barrels, this fortified red is seamlessly integrated, full of character, and built for decades of cellaring. Pair with dark chocolate desserts, aged cheeses, or simply sip slowly by a crackling fire.
Hand-harvested from a single 1965-planted vineyard, this rare field blend of Tinta Barocca, Tinta Roritz, Tinta Francesca, and Souzão is cold-soaked, wild fermented, and fortified on the skins for maximum depth. Aged unfiltered in old French oak for over two years, it's a pure expression of Muratie’s historic terroir and traditional Cape Port craftsmanship.
