Mission Estate Hawke's Bay Merlot 2023
A charming, light and bright red-fruit-driven merlot from one of the great historic wineries of New Zealand. This has redcurrant, cranberry and a nice bit of blackberry on the nose. The palate is fresh, lifted and fruit driven, with supple tannins and a moreish finish.

Mission Estate
Beginning life as a Catholic mission in 1838 Mission Estate is the oldest winery in New Zealand and they have been growing grapes on the site since the missionaries first began tending vines at Meeanee in 1851 and their current site in the Taradale Hills above Napier in 1909.
Today the winery is housed in the restored seminary buildings overlooking the vines and there are three vineyards (Greenmeadows, Mere Road and Gimblett Road) making up the holdings totalling 35 hectares or so. Chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris, semillon, viognier, merlot, syrah, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and petit verdot are all grown.
