Mission Hill Family Estate

Terroir Collection Cabernet Franc

Canada, British Columbia

2022

Hailing from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Mission Hill Family Estate Terroir Collection Cabernet Franc 2022 is made predominantly from cabernet franc, with merlot and cabernet sauvignon playing a supporting role. Offering a riot of herbs, spices and black fruit flavours, it will shine with a sirloin steak slathered in sage butter.

Mission Hill's Terroir Collection Cabernet Franc showcases the dramatic landscapes and microclimates of British Columbia's Okanagan Valley.

Mission Hill Border Vista

The 2022 vintage is sourced from select high‑elevation vineyards, where cool nights and long, sun‑filled days allow cabernet franc to ripen slowly while retaining vivid aromatics. Precision viticulture and hand selection ensure optimal fruit integrity, while fermentation in small lots and ageing in fine French oak bring structure and detail.

The Terroir Collection highlights Mission Hill's commitment to sustainable farming and small‑lot craftsmanship, and the 2022 vintage stands as one of the estate's most focused, expressive and site‑driven wines.

Tasting
NOTES

The nose of this inky cabernet franc is a riot of herbs, spices and black fruits. Blackberries, damsons, black cherries, blueberries and bell peppers share a glass with violets, liquorice, rosemary, leather and smoke. The same notes are found on the palate, which is full bodied with lifted acidity and well-rounded tannins. The oak is well integrated and the finish is long and meaty with a hint of bitterness. A very aromatic and elegant wine.
