Mission Estate - Seven Golds In One Day

Mission Estate - Seven Golds In One Day

New Zealand’s oldest winery, Mission Estate, has certainly started the year off with a bang – picking up a series of prestigious awards, both locally in New Zealand at the Easter Show Wine Awards 2015 - and from around the world, at the China Wine & Spirit Best Value Awards 2015.

A selection of wines across the Mission Estate and Reserve range were judged and awarded Double Gold, Gold, Silver and Bronze accolades at both these events.

Peter Holley, CEO of Mission Estate, says: “As the oldest winery in New Zealand, we’re very proud of our rich heritage and winemaking skills and it’s very rewarding to see our passions are being recognised not only here in New Zealand but further afield around the world.”

Much of Mission Estate’s success is also down to the experienced winemaker, Paul Mooney and his dedicated wine making team. Paul was originally mentored by Brother John, who learnt the art of wine making in Bordeaux during the 1960s.

Paul says: “We still use many of the original philosophies that the Brothers applied to making Mission Estate wines and this will always be something that we will continue to do, as we remain committed to producing excellent, great value-for-money products for people to enjoy, the world over.”

Paul adds: “These awards are recognition of a fantastic 2013 vintage and of the work we do to bring the wines to life.”
