’19 THE MOUNTAINEER PINOT GRIS
$24.99 – $299.88
“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves” – Sir Ed Hillary
The Mountaineer Pinot Gris pays homage to the pioneering spirit and sense of adventure displayed by mountain climbers confronting the forces of nature and celebrating the beauty and grandeur of the New Zealand Southern Alps. The preparation, passion and commitment necessary to grow and make Pinot Gris in Central Otago mirrors the challenges faced by these pioneering mountaineers.
Fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel to capture the vivid fruit the result is a balanced wine that will make a versatile food pairing.
Impressive aromas of fresh grapefruit and citrus are the precursors to a Pinot Gris that is crisp, clean and refreshing. Mouth watering purity and length are perfectly balanced with juicy fruit weight.
A wine with real transparency and obvious links to its origins this Pinot Gris is the 2019 Central Otago summer caught in a bottle.

’16 ISLA RESERVE PINOT NOIR
$69.00 – $828.00
A new member of the Mount Michael Family – both in wine and in namesake. Isla is our Premium Reserve Pinot Noir and is named after a granddaughter made in the same vintage.

Made with pristine fruit from the Bendigo, the hottest Sub-region in Central Otago this boutique wine has a firm nose of ripe, dark red fruits with herbaceous elements that unfold into nutty and distinctive oak aromas. Rich and luscious on the palate with concentrated dark berries, plum and liquorice, fine tannins and balanced acidity. This is a serious Pinot Noir, a treat to drink now but your patience will be rewarded with further cellaring.
Only 115 cases of this wine were made and spent 12 months in French oak before further cellaring for release in April 2019.
