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....

This weekend past played host to the very festive Franschhoek Uncorked Weekend. We, that's all of us at Môreson, had allowed ourselves to hope that the weather would be spectacular - but alas it was not meant to be. The...

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...

We will be hosting our first Plant Fayre (that's fancy spelling for fair) at Môreson on Saturday the 1st of October 2011. Exhibitors, who will also be selling a selection of their fabulous wares, include: The Cape Orchid Society Agapanthus Unlimited Baldric’s...

We heard late yesterday that we'd been awarded not one but two Diamond Awards at The 2011 Winemaker's Choice Awards. Our 2010 Môreson Pinotage and our 2008 Môreson Cabernet Franc walked off with top honours. We are so incredibly proud...

Neil Jewell, our favourite Charcuterie King, and his beautiful bread-baking wife – Tina – will be jetting of to Australia, from the 23rd to the 27th of June to share his passion for all things swine-and-dine related with his rather...

Thank you to everyone who popped into the Franschhoek Bastille Festival this last weekend. It was fantastic fun! We'll see you all, on the 4th and 5th of September 2010, at Franschhoek Uncorked.

Neil's amazing World Cup inspired sausage dishes continue through this week. If you're out in the winelands why not pop in? The following dishes will appear on the Bread & Wine Vineyard Restaurant menu until Sunday the 11th of July...

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....

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,...

Found this today and I can only imagine how the person who signed off the label must be getting it in the neck. Lorem Ipsum on a final label is never a good thing. It is, however, incredibly amusing. This...

We have some exciting new developments on the Môreson Chardonnay front. This year sees the launch of our new Fox Yankee Mike Chardonnay. This Chardonnay has been crafted with love to celebrate the 40th year of my father going solo....

2011 has been a sensational year at Môreson. We've been super-busy on the farm and in the winery. We have just finished suckering and, in the past month, our Chardonnay vines have moved on from just budding to putting on...

I am obsessed with design and whenever I stumble across something gorgeous and, in most cases, smile-worthy feel and overwhelming urge to share it. If it has made me this happy surely it will make you as happy? Actually I'd...

We've just finished planting a new Premium Chardonnay vineyard. It's been a lot of work but by 2016 you'll be able to taste the results. [gallery link="file"] P.S. Don't forget to buy your Premium Chardonnay, and other Môreson/Miss Molly wines,...

Our famous Miss Molly had to been rushed to the vet at 10 in the evening with a Biliary scare. Unable to stand by herself she was lifted into our 4 x 4 and chauffeured - by me - to her...

A farm is absolutely beautiful at the moment. We've got a lot on the go from the refurbishing of Bread & Wine Vineyard Restaurant to the pruning of our vineyards, harvesting of our lemons, waiting patiently for our avocados to...

This week the following football inspired dishes will be available on the Bread & Wine Vineyard Restaurant menu. If you are in, or around, Cape Town you should definitely head out to Franschhoek and join us for a bite to...

This year we'd like to include you in our harvest. We're going to be playing with short video clips, pictures and blog posts all aimed at keeping you in the loop. We're not going to get too technical, but we...

In the spirit of all things November and, therefore, all things Cap Classique-y we've decided to introduce you to our contestant line up. We have three lovely ladies vying for the title of Ms Môreson Cap Classique 2008. They are,...

We love Neil Jewell and everything that he creates and we're always delighted when other people love him (and everything he creates too). [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="504" caption="Neil and Clayton enjoying wine, charcuterie and a laugh in Neil meat locker."][/caption]...

It's so cool to see other's in the Franschhoek Valley make as big a deal out of November as we are. Haute Cabriere is running a flippin amazing competition. Head on over to their blog, which is very entertaining, and...
