Mission Fête is pressed very gently in a traditional manner.  It is then partially barrel-fermented and aged for over a year. Using the Charmat process, it is then fermented for a month in a pressure tank and then bottled.  The result is that it delivers a delicate wine with aromas of pear and apple.  The palate is fresh and clean, with citrus and hints of freshly baked bread.

It's delightfully expressed on the nose, showing Gala apple, rockmelon, lemon zest, and oatmeal nuances, leading to a beautifully weighted palate displaying creamy mouthfeel backed by vibrant acidity, finishing lingering and refreshing.

REGION

REGION REGION

Hawke’s Bay

Located on the east coast of the North Island, Hawke's Bay wine region is one of the warmest winegrowing regions in New Zealand. The long and warm growing season provides for excellent ripening conditions and full flavour development.

New Zealand Winegrowing

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 fruit acidity which lends a freshness and vibrancy, highly characteristic of New Zealand wine styles.

Soils

Gravel beds, free-draining alluvial soils and stony terraces.

Growing season

Warm and dry delivering intense and characterful wines.
