Peter Michael L`Apres Midi Half 2011

HED6682 37.5cl 15.5%
Though famous for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Peter Michael Winery also produces a high-quality Bordeaux-style Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blend with fruit from the high elevation Les Pavots Vineyard in Sonoma County. From the milder 2011 vintage, this is a blend of 96% Sauvignon Blanc and 4% Semillon, fermented using native yeasts in French oak barrels and matured ‘sur lie’ for 8 months with regular bâtonnage. Rich, zesty and multi-layered, this is a seamless wine built to age.

Peter Michael

Peter Michael

Peter Michael Winery was founded by British businessman Sir Peter Michael in the early 1980s with a singular vision - to make wine in the terroir-driven tradition of Burgundy and Bordeaux, under the California sun and in California soil. The winery currently produce around fifteen wines using four varietals - Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

Consistency and quality are the watchwords here - the wines are clearly inspired by the poise and precision of their Old World counterparts but can't help expressing an edge of Californian excess - ripe fruit abounds on the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir while the Cabernet Sauvignons have a density and concentration that many Bordelais would envy.
