Mission Hill Compendium 2017

Mission Hill Compendium 2017 originates from Canada, within the British Columbia region and the Okanagan Valley subregion. Founded by Anthony von Mandl, Mission Hill Family Estate has established itself as an iconic producer showcasing the unique microclimates and porous, nutrient poor soils of the valley. The winery focuses on sustainable farming and precision viticulture, selecting fruit for its Legacy Collection from designated vineyard blocks in Osoyoos to craft cellar worthy wines.

Wine Description

This red wine presents a deep, dark ruby colour. The nose offers concentrated aromas of cassis, black cherry, licorice, and bramble fruit framed by subtle oak spice and earthy accents. On the palate, it exhibits a full body with a harmonious attack, structured by dense, sweet, and elegant tannins. Stylistically, the wine displays remarkable balance and fruit intensity despite a warm growing season, balancing its rich dark fruit profile with fresh acidity and long term complexity. The finish is sleek, persistent, and well balanced.
