Oculus is our signature Bordeaux-inspired red wine.
Oculus is Mission Hill Family Estate's signature Bordeaux inspired wine. This elegant and complex wine represents the pinnacle of everything we do from viticulture to winemaking. Selected clusters from designated blocks within our estates in Osoyoos and Oliver are set aside for this wine. The grapes are hand harvested, hand sorted and destemmed; they are then gravity filled to small French oak fermenters. After 4 weeks extended maceration the free run wine and a small portion of lightly basket pressed wine is aged separately in 100% French oak barrels.
Oculus symbolizes Anthony von Mandl's vision for the Okanagan Valley and Mission Hill Family Estate. Now in its 11th vintage, Oculus 2007 promises to be our greatest Bordeaux style red blend to date.
