Mooiplaas: Tradition and Terroir in Stellenbosch

Located in the heart of Stellenbosch, Mooiplaas is a historic vineyard, rich in tradition and heritage. Nestled in the mineral-rich Bottelarij Hills, the estate is carefully managed by the Roos family. The Manor House, a magnificent example of "Dutch Cape" architecture dating from 1806, stands proudly as a national monument. Under the leadership of brothers Tielman and Louis Roos, the winery produces environmentally friendly wines that capture the essence of their unique terroir. The Sauvignon Blanc vines, situated 380 meters above sea level on the peaks of the Bottelary Hills, enjoy the cooling breezes of False Bay. These winds often bring a misty veil over the hills, earning the region the nickname Windhoek. The grapes are harvested in June, after which they are left to rest on their skins for 12 to 24 hours. After fermentation, the wine rests on its lees, benefiting from the yeast cells. After this careful aging, the wine is bottled, ready to be enjoyed.
