The Miss Molly Bubbly aroma has highlights of citrus – specifically lemon and lime – with a hint of pineapple. This is all supported by biscuity and yeasty undertones. The Miss Molly Bubbly has a beautiful fine mousse that perfectly...

This made my morning.

We unfortunately didn't catch the Bread & Wine Expresso piece live. Luckily for us they sent us a link to the segment on YouTube. Don't you just love Tina and Neil? Magic.  

She is our new Miniature Dachshund and we are all completely smitten. Maude – who is presently the size of a large rat – spends her days adventuring. Given half a chance she’s out patrolling the farm with Lucy and...

This past weekend we got to be part of a very special day. We're crazy about a few things: wine, food, our animals and - of course - love. If it makes you weak at the knees; if it makes...

Our acclaimed vineyard restaurant, Bread & Wine, has just had a makeover. This beautiful winelands' lunch spot now looks better than ever. Florals, which have been major trend in fashion lately, are now spilling over into design and restaurants and...

Clayton Reabow is his name and winemaking at Môreson is his game. You've probably tasted his wines, you could belong to his ever-expanding fan club, you might even be one of his beloved stalkers but how well do you really...

Every year we look at how we can add something more to the already exceptional Premium Chardonnay and I am delighted to be able to say that the 2010 is the best Premium Chardonnay we, as a farm, have produced...

We have just launched this-here new website which comes with a nifty eCommerce section. So now you can order your Môreson and Miss Molly without having to leave the comfort and warmth of home. Nice. We are busy promoting this...

We're in the process of removing the lemon orchards, located on the bottom half of the farm, to make room for a few more blocks of Chardonnay and - wait for it - Pinot Noir. If you've ever been to...

We've finally succumbed to the pressure ... yes we've gone out and setup a Facebook fan page. If you're on Facebook please pop in and visit the Môreson crew! You'll find the Môreson Facebook Fan Page here.

It's Franschhoek Literary Festival this weekend and Franschhoek is going to be BUSY. There's lots going on and obviously we'd love it if you popped into Môreson to stock up on your wine and charcuterie. Actually now that we think...

Finally some information from those directly involved in the harvest apparently it's going (and I quote) "going very smooth and everybody is very happy". This is a good thing. Sometimes harvest has a way of getting completely out of control....

Today my just-plain-gorgeous husband, our families and myself welcome our twins into the world. They'll be the fourth generation of Friedman to call Môreson their home. And - might I add - what a fabulous place to call home. When they're...

This winter - from now (the 7th of May 2012) until the end of June 2012 - our Tasting Room and Bread & Wine Vineyard Restaurant will be closed every Tuesday and Wednesday. Boohoo! The Charming Charley is however still accepting orders throughout the...

Check out this afternoon's freak hail storm. It arrived out of NO WHERE and decided to dress up the farm, and the rest of Franschhoek, as an abstract ice sculpture. Nice work.

Miss Molly is not - as some might believe - an only child. She is in fact part of a family of six other dogs. She's a very good sister and has a lot of time for her siblings (both...

Congratulations to The Tasting Room at Le Quartier Français for being included in the Top 10 Eat Out Restaurant List. It's the 8th year they've been included and this means they've now more times than any other restaurant in South...

I've recently been on a week long road trip up the Garden Route. It was breathtakingly beautiful. A combination of perfect weather, spectacular scenery and great company (my mum) made more an unforgettable adventure. Along the way we stopped in...

At 6am, this morning, we started our 2009 harvest. I had hoped that there would be pictures but, as you can see, there are none. They should, however, be arriving shortly. We're just waiting on the resident photographer (Mum). She's...

As the title promises our 2009 harvest starts tomorrow, apparently. With temperatures just refusing to get to their normal January +30 degree mark it could mean that we have to wait to get those sugar levels up to where they...

It seems that these days everyone has a secret life. Maybe people have always had secret hobbies and interests? Perhaps it's just gotten a whole lot harder to keep these interests secret. Today I stumbled across a post from a...

After a weekend packed full of horrendous weather we were presently surprised by the sun-soaked, almost balmy weather today. It seems that Spring (everyone at Môreson is keeping their fingers crossed) has finally arrived! You must have seen the signs?...

We've added a Méthode Cap Classique to the Miss Molly range. It's called Miss Molly Bubbly and it's DELICIOUS! Not only does it taste great but it's also incredibly well priced - selling off the farm at R69.00 a bottle....

We are looking for representation in Québec or Ontario thanks to the following piece of fan mail. If you know of anyone who would in interested in importing our Miss Molly range of wines please email us. Our Miss Molly...

We have only a few cases of our award-winning 2010 Môreson Premium Chardonnay available worldwide. Yes, only a few cases of six available in the-whole-wide-world. Oh the horror! This means that if you're a Premium Chardonnay lover, and there are...

The 2010 Môreson Premium Chardonnay and the Môreson Solitaire NV Blanc de Blancs Méthode Cap Classique were both awarded coveted silver medals at the 2012 Chardonnay du Monde competition. This competition, the world's premier Chardonnay competition, presents a line-up of...

We've got a whole lot of pictures from the 2011 Bastille Festival. If you'd like to check them out you'll find them on our Facebook page. They're super-fantastic ... probably because they include a guillotine, our winemaker in an incredible moustache...

This super festival, which is a must for those looking to banish the winter woes, takes place on Saturday the 16th and Sunday the 17th of July. If you've never attended check out our pictures from last year's Bastille. It...

Our friends at Le Quartier Français are running an amaZING Father's Day Competition. Basically you need to tell us (or them) - in 140 characters or less - why your Dad is the Dad of Dads, the Super Dad, the Dad that outshines all...

This is a question that has been on my mind a lot lately. Times are tight and, as consumers, we are all looking for bang for our bucks. You only have to look at the Cape Town property market to...

This morning we woke-up to snow covered Franschhoek mountains! If you'd like to take a gander at the photos you'll find them on our Facebook fan page (which you'll find by clicking here).

It's tempting to keep this blog just focused on the positive and beautiful. Who doesn't want to live in a make believe world? We live in the most exquisite valley, we work in an exciting industry and, as much as...

Text from Dog is hilarious and well worth a visit. I could definitely see Miss Molly and the Lucy-Pants sending similar types of texts. P.S. The content is NSFW. It's not really that bad but, hey, I don't know your boss....

This morning the furry kids decided that we had to take a stroll around the farm at 06h20. You see there were important things to inspect, stuff that simply could not wait. Obviously. These important items included vineyards, delicious almost-ripe grapes, holes,...
