Attractive ruby red in colour, the Mission Hill Merlot has woven layers of spice surrounded by rich delicious Okanagan cherries. Full and sweet in the mouth, this Merlot has aggressive tannins, making it a great food wine, complex enough to complement a variety of dishes.

Mission Hill Family Estate is situated in the heart of British Columbia's breathtaking Okanagan Valley wine country, one of the Pacific Northwest's undiscovered gems. Mission Hill's award-winning wines are a celebration of this unique terroir.
In the vineyards, a combination of science and intuition drives the selection of grape varietals best suited to the Okanagan Valley's diverse microclimates. Investments in technology, irrigation systems, frost protection and weather stations are all designed to encourage the production of premium fruit. Complete control of the process from planting to harvest is essential. At the winery, new presses, expanded barrel aging capacity and new temperature controlled underground cellars ferment and carefully age the wine under optimum conditions.
