Môreson
Môreson holds the most special place in my heart. I along with my three siblings grew up here. The four of us spent years playing farmer on our plastic tractors some of us clearly more genetically suited to this role than others. 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 our global wine sales. And my sister Charley (our resident free spirit) has (for now) managed to elude the family business. 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 where families’ lounge over long lazy lunches. It is a winery where wines are patiently and lovingly crafted from vines that have grown for years. It is our home and we feel privileged to be able to share it with you.
Description
Solitaire doesn’t walk she waltzes. Somewhat of a princess - but never a prima donna - she’s our Miss Social. Made from 100% Chardonnay - a small portion of which is wooded – Solitaire is bottle-fermented in the traditional manner and undergoes a 24 month maturation. You can expect light tropical fruit with biscuity undertones and a crisp dry finish. Delicious!
