WineDiva's Review

Golden, rich, complex.
The Mission Hill Family Estates Terroir Collection is a reflection of proprietor Anthony Von Mandl's vision from some 30 years ago. His goal, to create a line of wines, which showcase the unique micro-climates of the Okanagan Valley. Each label features a photographic image of the site where the wine was conceived.
Here, you can expect rich golden fruits, honey, marzipan, wild grasses and botanicals with smoky and leesy undertones. The palate is similarly laden with ripe golden fruit, honey and tangerine with a pinch of spice, which culminates in caramel on the finish. Excellent structure and complexity with an attractive weight.
*Be sure not to serve too cold.
