Caine's comments:  

Mark and Angela's vineyard is located next to Mission Estate's Mere Road vineyard. Located on the Gimblett Gravels, this block has been set up with premium quality production in mind, with close row and plant spacing. With a similar soil profile to Mission's own Mere Road vineyard, this block is highly regarded and recognised as a premium site for production of Bordeaux and Syrah varietals. Every year fruit from this block reaches targeted quality objectives and is a significant part of our Gimblett Gravels fruit supply into the winery.
