The ‘Reserve’ range of wines is essentially the premium tier of Mission Estate. Here the wines show all the sophistication in winemaking and quality of fruit and vineyard source to put them on equal footing with any other high class producer. Of course, Mission Estate has the rare ‘Jewelstone’ and super-premium ‘Huchet’ wines, but these are rare and not released every year. The ‘Reserves’ have availability, and with all of Mission Estate’s wines, they are affordable. Here, I review the Mission ‘Reserve’ 2015 Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, and 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon. www.missionestate.co.nz
