Finest vineyards, extensive canopy management, handpicking, minimal handling and the best available fermenters and barrels are used to produce The Legacy Series wines. These wines are aged in optimal conditions and tasted often before they are released. They showcase the finest of everything at Mission Hill Family Estate.
Perpetua 2008
100 % single vineyard Chardonnay from Osoyoos Vineyard Estate. Grapes were night-harvested and after crushing, 25 % of the juice was barrel fermented in new French oak. Wine was aged sur lie for 10 months.
Crisp and lively palate with yellow apple, lime, jasmine and oak spice on the finish, the nose shows honeysuckle and lemon-lime. This Chardonnay is extremely food friendly.
