We started harvesting the Chardonnay for the Môreson Méthode Cap Classique this week.

[For more picture of the 2010 Môreson Harvest click here.]

As you can see from the pictures the grapes, coming off the Môreson vines, look amazing. If grape quality is anything to go by 2010 looks set to be a great vintage for Môreson.

Clayton Reabow – the Môreson Winemaker – has been awarded the coveted title of 2009 Diners Club Young Winemaker of the Year for his 2007 Môreson Premium Chardonnay.

As you can guess everyone on Môreson farm is super proud of Clayton and this amazing achievement!

This year has been a good year for Môreson and awards. In fact our Premium Chardonnay has now won three major awards in 2009. Which is really great because, even though we create all Môreson wine to first and foremost be enjoyed by you, it’s cool to recognised. Plus those shiny gold stickers are awesome!

A quick peak at the Premium Chardonnay awards for 2009:

A gold – at the 2009 Chardonnay du Monde Competition – for the 2007 Môreson Premium Chardonnay.

A 2009 Diners Club Young Winemaker of the Year title – for the 2007 Môreson Premium Chardoonay.

A Double Gold – at the 2009 Veritas Awards – for the 2008 Premium Chardonnay (which is presently available for sale).

Like I said 2009 has been a good year for the Môreson Premium Chardonnay.
