Quatrain is four lines of verse that Mission Hill interprets as four varietals giving balance and structure to this wine. They painstakingly managed each vine from distinct blocks to ensure perfect ripeness and opulent flavours from their vineyard estates in eastern Osoyoos (87%) and the Black Sage Bench in Oliver (13%). This unique cuv?e was fermented in small, specially designed-French oak fermenters. It was aged in French oak barrels for 15 months. 42 barrels produced. The wine introduces itself with a nose distinguished by perfumed violets and blue fruits, nuances of black pepper, and savoury spices. The palate brings a rich concentration of ripe bramble fruit and impressions of sweet licorice and earthiness. The satin-smooth finish is beautifully persistent with a silky fine-grained texture to the finish.
