There is an entire children’s section at Môreson over the Uncorked weekend. This section includes: a jumping castle, games, snacks, pizza and more.

There is also live music by the perennially popular Lara Frances. She played last year and was absolutely fantastic!

Plus don’t forget our new Orchid and Fresh Cut Flower Nursery. Pop in and pick up a bunch of exquisite fresh cut flowers or an orchid (or three).

Last, but certainly not least, the South African Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind – who are proudly supported by Miss Molly– will be at Môreson for the duration of Uncorked.

See you this weekend!

We have been redesigning the Môreson website for quite some time now and it looks like it is going to be ready to launch within the next two months.

It has been very important for us to effectively reflect the Môreson offering, through our website, because we don’t want anyone getting the wrong impression about the wine and experience we showcase. This has meant that we have had to work really hard to keep it simple and clean, with a dash of rugged handsomeness.

If you know us then you’ll know that we are not flashy. We create exceptional wines and we offer our visitors what we believe is an authentic experience … one that we are proud to call the Môreson adventure.

If you’re a fan of our wines you would have no doubt noticed the updated version of our wine labels.

We decided to give our old labels a facelift and in doing so we focused on the following:

• Cleaning up our old label design. Ensuring that all the individual elements are strong, in their own right, and that they also contribute to the overall strength and masculinity of the wine label.
• Improving the quality of our label. Our labels now boast far better quality paper, foiling and printing.

One of the nicest new touches, added to the Môreson wine label, is the number of barrels proudly displayed on the label. If you have a bottle of the 2009 Môreson Premium Chardonnay you should know exactly what we are talking about. If not perhaps it’s time you ordered some of our wine?

Clayton is busy working on a new and exciting addition to our Môreson range. All we can tell you is that it’s a red wine and it is spectacular!

Seriously we can’t say anything more, for now, but if you’d like to be one of the first to meet and greet the new addition to the Môreson family pay us a visit over the Franschhoek Uncorked weekend.

There are so many exciting things happening on the farm at the moment.

• We’re expecting delivery of our new très chic Môreson white wine boxes
• We’re planting Chardonnay
• The Orchid Nursery looks more fantastic as each day passes
• We are revamping the tasting room – nothing drastic – just reducing the clutter
• We are completely remodeling the Bread & Wine / Môreson Wine Tasting Pond and Gardens. Which means that they’re are going to be beautiful just in time for season!
