The name Missionvale stems from the mission hospital established on the domain property in the early 19th Century. German missionary Peter Leitner, would walk his patients over the Raed-na-Gael Mountains to the nearby ocean to cleanse their bodies. Perhaps also to collect fruits from the sea in the process.

in the vineyard : The 2013 vintage has proved to be an excellent opportunity for great white wines. This was a high rainfall season with a cool temperate European weather profile offering low yields of finest quality.
