Mission Hill 2016 Reserve
Pinot Gris $25.78+taxes
NEW VINTAGE RELEASE
A hint of freshly sliced ginger, Anjou pear, and nutmeg open up our Reserve Pinot Gris. Flavours of white peach, grapefruit, and zesty lime round out this full-bodied and aromatic wine. A relatively short and delicate aging on the lees in French oak maintains the wine’s crisp and dry nature. Pair with poultry, salmon, risotto and mushroom quiche.
Mission Hill 2016 Reserve Riesling
$23.98+taxes
NEW VINTAGE RELEASE
Our 2016 Reserve Riesling was sourced from two of our estate vineyards - Naramata Ranch and Mission Hill Road. Mission Hill Road perched on the brow of Mt. Boucherie, an inactive volcano, has steep, hillside vineyards with a southeast aspect. While Naramata Ranch enjoys the lake's moderating influence, the 'suncatcher's effect', providing ideal growing conditions and an extended ripening period. Mouthwatering acidity and opulent texture enhance this magical Riesling while intensifying its generous burst of summer fruit. Think mandarins and lime drenched peaches and prepare to be delighted.
Mission Hill Five Vineyards 2016 Rose $19.18+taxes
NEW VINTAGE RELEASE
Our Five Vineyards Wines will excite your senses. This Rose comes from our Oliver and Osoyoos Vineyards in the Okanagan Valley. Each wine consistently over-delivers in aromatics, flavours, balance, and taste. Our winemaker hand selects grapes to blend, drawing upon more than two decades of extensive viticulture research at our Winery, knowledge learned walking the vineyards row after row, and interpreting Mother Nature’s impact on the vines and soil. Our viticulture pursuit is not without risk. The reward is an amazing array of unique flavours to craft our wines. Our dry Rose is the perfect sipping wine as it exhibits watermelon, wild strawberries, jasmine, and pomegranate flavours.
Mission Hill 2014 Reserve Merlot $31.19+taxes
AWARD WINNING VINTAGE
Our stellar Osoyoos vineyard estate delivers this fruit forward and full-bodied Merlot. Lush flavours of plum, blackberry, and black currant abound, support silky tannins with a lengthy finish.

Mission Hill 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon $32.29+taxes
NEW VINTAGE RELEASE
Our Reserve wines are handcrafted on the premise of 'Selection' - selection in the vineyard and in the cellar. We source our fruit from the top 15% of our estate vineyards and 75% of the same vineyard blocks are used to ensure consistency vintage to vintage. Our elegant Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied with layers of black currant, red plum, cassis, mint, and sage flavours. Rich tannins, with a touch of leather, mocha, and smoke at the lingering end.
