The Project wines unite Mission's sustainability initiatives, showcasing their enduring commitment to environmental management.

VITICULTURE
Sourced from old, low-yielding vines from some of the best Hawke's Bay vineyards in the Bridge Pa Triangle and Mangatahi. Machine-harvested early in the morning for freshness. Located on the east coast of the North Island, Hawke's Bay is one of the warmest wine-growing regions in New Zealand. The long and warm growing season provides for excellent ripening conditions and full flavour development.

WINEMAKING

Free-run juice and gentle first pressings only were used in the blend. Barrel fermented in French oak and aged in barrel for 10 months, with a further nine months on lees in tank.TASTING NOTESSoft and generous with excellent structure, fresh citrus notes and beautifully balanced with ripe peach, apricot and finely integrated toasty notes. A fresh finish gives a long-detailed ending that keeps giving and giving.

CELLAR POTENTIAL
