Vineyards

Advanced research is done before developing the farm, this to ensure the right rootstock/cultivars combination according to our soil types and position. On the farm eco-friendly production is implemented. With a correct vineyard management such as: pruning practices, tipping, scheduled irrigation, ...  we try to grow top quality fruits that finally result in a quality wine!


People

Our dedicated team puts in all effort to create an honest product. The farm & cellar staff, 6 people, are all trained and supervised. This gives them the opportunity to learn and grow in their job. Regularly training and schooling for our staff are things that we committed ourselves to. This ensures us that the Mooi Bly team: owners, managers, foremen and labourers all feel proud about our products!


Cellar

A minimum intervention philosophy is followed in the cellar. Due to a high quality fruit we create wines made by the grapes themselves. Only the best bunches end up in our press, therefore we have a second selection in the cellar after the grapes are picked. The grapes are kept cold during the whole working process to distract maximum flavors and aromas. In our cellar back again we work eco-friendly, no harmful chemicals are used for cleaning and our waste water kept to the standards.
