Our flagship range pays homage to legendary viticulturist and mountaineer Nicolaas Roos and his wife Mercia, a lady renowned for her adventurous spirit and sense of style. The Mercia Collection represents the finest, most elegant wines from Mooiplaas.

When it comes to winemaking, our cellar master, Louis Roos, is a true purist. He uses a range of classic and traditional winemaking processes to produce the Mooiplaas wines, such as wild yeast, natural fermentation, light filtration and maturation in small oak barrels.

“To produce premium wines you have to follow the ‘classic’ approach,” says Louis.

“Use the best grapes from the best vineyards with minimal interference during the winemaking process. That will give you wines that are distinctive and expressive of place and vintage.”

We believe that wine should be authentic, elegant, well balanced and structured while showing its vibrance and fullness of flavour. It must add joy to life!
