We lived by a few simple rules: if it was high it was meant to be climbed; if it was a fruit or looked vaguely edible it was meant to be eaten; and if there was even a ray of sunlight we’d still be out exploring every part of Môreson.

The four of us have long outgrown the plastic tractors. I’ve graduated to real-life farming equipment. My brothers – Blake and Dane – have replaced man-made tractor noises with Courtnall Williams and Sons, an exciting new wine related business based in the UK. And my sister, Charley, our resident free-spirit, has somehow landed herself the temporary role of Administration Assistant. She’s doing daily battle with the accounts and regularly slaying all kinds of general ledger demons. If you call Môreson it’s likely you’ll have a chat to Charley.

When the four of us get together on the farm (which doesn’t happen as often as we wish it did) we’re reminded of just why we love Môreson so much. It is a place children spend hours splashing around the water features and exploring, just like we did so many years ago. It is a farm were families lounge over long lazy lunches. It is a winery where wines are patiently and lovingly crafted from vines that have grow for years. It is our home and we feel privileged to be able to share it with you.

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.

P.S. The content is NSFW. It’s not really that bad but, hey, I don’t know your boss.

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 you lose all sense of perspective; if it makes your heart skip a beat, it’s either the world’s most amaazing dessert or it’s love. Either way it rocks. Although, at a push, we’d choose love over dessert. Every. Single. Time.

So, as you can imagine, having our little family farm considered as the ideal venue for Don’s Proposal was a massive honour.

To Don – a big thanks for entrusting us with helping to make your plans a reality – and to Lauren, his gorgeous fiancée, congratulations!

We wish both of you a lifetime of love, happiness, romance and friendship.

These latest awards mean that since 2007 Môreson has received two Chardonnay du Monde gold medals – for our Môreson Premium Chardonnay – in addition to two silver Chardonnay du Monde medals.

In addition over the last three years our Môreson Solitaire NV Blanc de Blancs Méthode Cap Classique has received one bronze Chardonnay du Monde medal and two silver Chardonnay du Monde medals. This makes it the highest ranking Blanc de Blancs Méthode Cap Classique in the world!

These are super achievements and they really confirm Môreson’s place as world leader in the Southern Hemisphere production of Chardonnay related wines and cap classiques.

P.S. Given their pedigree and their award-magnet status these wines are an absolute steal at off-the-farm prices. R99 for a bottle of the Solitaire and R145 for the bottle of Premium Chardonnay. A case is an absolute must. In fact head on over to our secure online store and pick up your six bottles today.

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, other dogs’ bums and imaginary creatures that go bump in the bushes.

In addition this juice, which will be used for the Môreson Solitaire NV Méthode Cap Classique, is sensational … very clean; very fresh. Impressive.

We thought we’d share some of our favourite pictures of Miss Molly’s family with you. They’re all huge characters and somewhat responsible for Molly growing into the star she is.

Snoop – The Poop – Friedman

He is the Head Honcho. Don’t be fooled by his size or charismatic grin, he’s a tiger. Grrr.

Snoopy also likes to play dress up. Some of his favourite outfits include: Mountain Explorer (pictured below), Bride, Dancing Queen (with painted nails) and Dog Recovering from an Accident.

Sally – The Legend – Friedman

Sally has been a Friedman for 16 years. She’s swum more swimming pool lengths than most labradors, surfed bigger waves than most men and chased many a visitor off the farm.

Sally is getting on in years and now enjoys: a leisurely breakfast in bed. and pre-cleaning the contents of a full dishwasher.

Koemba Friedman

Koemba is huge but he honestly believes that he is the size of a sausage dog. He is terrified of only one thing … the cat, Tinkerbell.

Fudge – The Budgie – Friedman

If you’ve spent any time at Môreson you’ve probably met Fudge – The Budgie – Friedman. He’s our Mr Social, a regular fixture at Bread & Wine and around the wine tasting.

He loves long romantic rides in the car, attention and making sure he is as wet as possible before he climbs onto any kind of furniture.

Lucy – The Goose – Friedman

Lucy – The Goose – Friedman is the latest Addition to Miss Molly’s family. She’s already a firm favourite who loves to terrorise empty coke bottles (the plastic kind), wrappers and stuffed animals.

This week she discovered her big dog bark and is now practicing on anything that moves, including Miss Molly. It’s all terribly exciting!

As you can see Miss Molly’s family is packed full of interesting characters. They’re often two bottles short of a box but they keep her life, and our lives, very interesting.

P.S. Not pictured but just as important: Tom – The Tank – Friedman.
