Mission Estate Winery
Established in 1851 by a group of enthusiastic Catholic missionaries, the Mission Estate winery is founded on their great passion for fine wine and tradition. It's a passion that has carried forward to the present day. Tradition blended effortlessly with technology.
Of course the early vintages were produced purely for sacramental purposes but as the demand for the brothers' wine increased so did the sales. Today Mission Estate wine is to be found on the tables across the nation and in cellars internationally.
Behind the distinctive and historical mission building, nestled proudly on a hill overlooking its sweeping vineyards, are a range of endeavours worthy of exploring and sampling; wine sales, winery tours, a gourmet restaurant and a craft gallery.
A journey along the expansive plane tree-lined driveway that sweeps you to the entrance will let you know that you have entered a special place. A place with a rich history and a vibrant future.
The Mission portfolio consists of three ranges. The Mission Estate range includes premium white and red varietals produced in significant commercial quantities from a variety of soil types and micro-climates ideal for selected grape varieties, which produce flavour concentrated, physiologically ripe grapes.
Mission Reserve Range is sourced from company-owned vineyards and selected Hawke's Bay sites, to make wines that possess unique qualities, and are noted for their structure, flavour, delicacy and intensity.
The Jewelstone Range represents the most exceptional wines made from only elite sites.
