VITICULTURE

Soils on these sites are stoney and free draining. Central to the
success of New Zealand as a world-renowned wine growing
region is the temperate maritime climate and the free-draining
alluvial soils. The growing season is long, providing perfect
conditions for slow ripening and full flavour development. Cool
nights and warm days retain acidity which lends freshness and
vibrancy to the wines, highly characteristic of New Zealand wine
styles.


WINEMAKING

Fruit was crushed to fermenter and inoculated with yeast for a
warm fermentation. The grapes and must were carefully mixed
each day for colour, and once fermentation was complete, they
remained a further 20 days on skins until the wine had gained its
optimum texture before pressing. A further malolactic fermentation
occurred before oak maturation produced a bright, fruit-driven,
complex style.

Tasting Notes
2020 Reserve Malbec
Delicious and rich, bursting with sweet black fruit and ripe red berry notes. Selected from some of Hawke’s Bay’s finest vineyards, this Malbec was matured in French oak barrels for 12 months before release. This wine is rich and fruit-driven, with a velvety texture and a long finish.

Reaching New Zealand shores in 1838, pioneering French missionaries founded a legacy. From their many accomplishments, now interwoven throughout history, came New Zealand’s first winery, Mission, in 1851.
