Mission Estate launches Vineyard Selection Rose 2016

rsz_1the_shout-mission_roseWith spring in full bloom, Mission Estate is proud to announce the arrival of its Rose – a welcome addition to its Vineyard Selection (VS) range.

This Rose is packed full of refreshing characteristics that are perfect for the warmer weather on its way, with bright and juicy tones of strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant.

Mission Estates VS range are premium small batch New Zealand wines produced from specifically selected vineyard sites.

The new VS Rose is made from 78% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Syrah. It has a pale pink hue and attractive floral aromas and is made in an off dry style that is ideal for luncheons or as an aperitif.

Paul Mooney, Winemaker at Mission Estate, says: “We think wine should be made to be enjoyed and we have added this wine to the VS selection purely because of the overwhelming demand for it.”
