Golden Mile
The Môreson Estate totals 34ha of land spread across three separate title deeds. The farm lies on the aptly-named Happy Valley Road, and is situated in a quiet corner of the valley, alongside the Franschhoek River. It forms part of the so-called “Golden Mile” of leading wine estates, with close neighbours including La Motte and Eikehof.

Price

The farm is being sold as a profitable commercial enterprise, priced at R39 million.

Leading Wine Estate
Môreson was established in 1986 and its first wines bottled in 1994. Since then, it has come to be recognised as one of the country’s leading estates, winning numerous local and international awards. A total of 15ha is planted to vineyards, including Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay varietals.

The Wines
The estate buys in its red grapes from other farms, crushing them on site to produce numerous acclaimed wines including their famous Môreson Pinotage - its 2008 vintage has just been awarded 4½ stars in WINE magazine’s annual category tasting. The sandy soil, warm summers and wet winters provide a perfect terroir for the production of some 210 000 litres of wine per annum – around 24 000 cases.

Restaurant
Beside its famed wines, Môreson is also increasingly well known for its restaurant, “Bread and Wine”, which is outsourced and independently run by the team at Le Quartier Francais (recently named in the annual Pellegrino list of the world’s 50 best restaurants). The restaurant is open daily, and also offers bread-making and other cookery classes, and provides sumptuous catering for private functions, including the many country weddings held on the farm.

Modern Home
PGP’s area manager for the Franschhoek Valley, Surina du Toit, says the farm’s main homestead is a modern Spanish-style home with over 700m2 of living space, situated in lush gardens with many mature trees. “There are 5 en-suite bedrooms in the house, and a separate guest suite housed in a tower, along with a private underground wine storage cellar.

It is also air-conditioned and has under-floor heating. There is a farmstyle kitchen with separate laundry, a 20m swimming pool, floodlit tennis court and purpose-built gymnasium with a sauna.

Exterior Buildings
“There are also numerous other buildings on the property as well – totalling over 6200m2 of built space,” she adds. “These include executive offices with their own boardroom and conference room, the 350 ton winery, cellar and tasting areas, as well as 14 other dwellings suitable for staff, guests or corporate use.”

Air, Water, Security
PGP’s MD for the Boland and Overberg regions, Annien Borg, says the farm has its own private grass airstrip and hangar for easy access by air, has ample water supply and excellent security, and is only an hour’s drive from Cape Town.

Conclusion
“This is a rare opportunity to invest in a going, profitable concern with an established international reputation,” she says.
