About
Mooiplaas Wine Estate and Private Nature Reserve boast a pristine natural beauty. Owned and managed by Tielman and Louis Roos, the Mooiplaas vineyards lie on steep slopes of ancient mineral-rich soils in the Bottelary Hills of Stellenbosch, overlooking Cape Town. Mooiplaas is a historic and traditional working wine estate, bought by Nicolaas Roos in 1963. He was joined by his two sons Tielman, viticulturist, (1980) and Louis, winemaker (1983). They celebrated 50 years on the farm in 2013. The history of the farm dates back to 1806, with the manor house on the estate – a national monument – an impressive example of Cape Dutch architecture.

They just make scents!
It's a little-known fact that baking bread can infuse your entire home with a cosy, wholesome scent. (This is actually a tip from estate agents for when you want to boost the chances of selling your place.) It's so little-known, in fact, that nobody really does it.
Instead, it's not uncommon to get home and find that your gym-bunny flatmate, Josh, has once again infused the place with that delightful, flatulent scent of broccoli. Or Brenda, with the stench of boiled eggs and cabbage that she's trying as part of her 'get ready for summer in 2 weeks' diet.
Forget the bread, the broccoli and Brenda. And remember instead our incredible deal on these Yankee Candles!
