Lemon and lime with fresh herb notes; sweet red apple, passionfruit with juicy stonefruit and a carefully balanced, refreshing finish.

Mission’s Blind River vineyard possesses a special aspect with gentle slopes and soils comprising of sandy loams, with a proportion of clay particles that overlay a gravel subsoil. The soils are free-draining promoting vine health, but restrict vine vigour due to the stony sub soils, contributing to intense fruit flavour.

Carefully selected, gently pressed and a long, cool fermentation. The juice was inoculated with specially developed, aromatic yeast strains to intensify varietal character development. Following fermentation wines were batch selected and blended to create a perfectly balanced wine. Further maturation in barrel produced a bright, fruit-driven, complex style.
