2007 Compendium
A compendium is a 'collection'; this Bordeaux inspired wine is part of Mission Hill Family Estate's ultra-premium wine collection. Elegant and complex, COMPENDIUM reflects great care and dedication in everything we do from viticulture to winemaking.
The grapes were selected from designated blocks within our estates in Oliver and Osoyoos; they were hand harvested and hand sorted and then gravity filled to small French oak fermenters. After 5 weeks extended maceration the free run wine and a small portion of lightly basket pressed wine was aged separately in 100% French oak barrels for 13.5 months.
