Mission Hill Family Estate Reserve Chardonnay VQA

An early pioneer in the Okanagan Valley, today, Mission Hill Family Estate encompasses a broad spectrum of vineyard estates with more than 30 diverse microclimates. This Reserve Chardonnay was sourced from three Mission Hill estate vineyards – Oliver, Osoyoos, and Naramata Ranch. The Oliver Vineyard estate includes the blocks of vines that Mission Hills original award-winning Chardonnay was sourced from 20 years ago providing an excellent foundation and key characteristics of this unique wine style. Osoyoos is comprised of arid benchlands that benefit from the Osoyoos Lake effect giving the area more than 200 frost-free days and the Naramata Ranch estate is a stunning beauty that also benefits from the lake’s moderating influence. Fresh citrus and ripe stone fruit aromas are complemented by an exciting line of acidity and silky smooth texture from subtle oak aging.
