The vineyard covers 22 hectares of terraced slopes, planted mainly with Syrah, Grenache, and Viognier grape varieties. The vineyard is managed with sustainable agriculture practices, and the winery is certified organic by Ecocert.

The winemaking at Domaine du Murinais is traditional, with hand harvesting and fermentation in stainless steel tanks or concrete vats.

The wines are known for their balance, freshness, and elegance, and have received numerous awards and accolades over the years.
