Mooiplaas Wine Estate and Private Nature Reserve is situated in the Westward reaches of the Stellenbosch Winelands, approximately 40km east of Cape Town. We are a traditional working wine farm with history stretching back more than two centuries. The Roos Family has been the custodians of this land for three generations. Our vineyards lie on the steep slopes of the ancient mineral-rich soils of the Bottelary Hills, where we produce a range of environmentally friendly wines rooted in tradition and artisan techniques.

The vineyard is located high up in the Bottelary Hills of Stellenbosch at an altitude of 295m on a south eastern slope. Cool breezes from the nearby Atlantic Ocean make the site perfect for Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyard shows vigorous growth, supported by supplementary irrigation when necessary.

The much-needed rainfall during winter and a rather cool summer provided ideal conditions for growth and ripening. An outstanding vintage for white grapes, no heat waves and low night temperatures together with a cool summer. Six hours skin contact, juice cleaned by settling. 100% Free run juice. Wine lees re-montage performed once a week for 3 months in order to extract more flavour and body.
