The Muratie Flavours of Winter Festival invites you to make the most of the Cape winter and head out to Stellenbosch for a mellow fireside celebration of Cape “Port” and Fortified style wines. The Muratie Farm Kitchen will be serving a delicious array of traditional & rustic meals suited to the wintertime. Come and cosy up in one of the Cape’s oldest wineries with a glass, live music and some warm treats, appreciating the rich and luscious offerings from some of the Cape’s top “Port” producers. You will be warmly hosted by the winemakers from Muratie, Allesverloren, Axe Hill, Delaire Graff, Boplaas, The Fledge and Peter Bayly.

The title of Best Port wine of 2021 has been awarded to Boplaas Family Vineyards. The announcement was made last week following the annual assessment of wines by Winemag.co.za, sponsored by Prescient. Its champion port wine was the Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve 2009. The competition panel, headed by respected wine critic Christian Eedes, identifies the Top 20 from almost 1 000 wines rated over the period of a year. The Boplaas wine emerged with a score of 96/100, also receiving the highest points overall in the category for Sweet and Fortified Wines.
