2021 Oculus Release
Since the first vintage in 1997, Oculus has marked milestones both personal and historic. Our 2021 vintage embodies the precision and patience required to craft Canada’s most iconic Bordeaux-style wine. The fruit was hand-selected at top southern estate vineyard blocks with each berry optically sorted, gravity-fed into French oak and concrete fermenters, and matured for nineteen months in French oak before resting an additional two years in bottle.
Every vintage of Oculus is the culmination of decades of perseverance. This is the story of resilience: a dream realized, a struggle overcome, and a vision fulfilled.

2025 Winery of the Year
In an extraordinary achievement, Mission Hill Family Estate has been named Winery of the Year at the prestigious 2025 WineAlign National Wine Awards of Canada, marking a historic milestone as Canada’s most awarded winery in the nation’s history.
This sixth Winery of the Year title at Canada’s leading wine competition further cements our legacy as a pioneer in Canadian excellence, recognized across every vintage and visit.
