The Mountaineer 2020 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.
The Mountaineer 2020 Pinot Gris is bursting with crisp green apple, pear, and white floral aromatics. Fresh granny smith apples with a slight blush of sweet nashi pear on the palate perfectly balance this fresh, off dry Central Otago Pinot Gris.

’19 MOUNT MICHAEL PINOT NOIR
$42.00 – $504.00The 2019 Mount Michael Pinot Noir was hand harvested from a single Bannockburn site. The hotter than usual 2019 vintage led to an early picking of the fruit. Winemaking was very gentle, with a shorter time on skins. Minimal additions has led to a wine of real purity and great intensity.
“The Mount Michael Pinot Noir is sweetly fruited and beautifully fragrant on the nose. Showing dark cherry, vanilla, hazelnut, olive and subtle spice aromas, leading to a succulent palate that’s delightfully weighted and velvety. It’s flavoursome and lingering with ripe fruit flavours with elegant savoury nuances, making it delectably appealing”
94/5* Sam Kim – Wine Orbit.
Made in tiny quantities and aged for 11 months in French oak, this wine is drinking beautifully now but you will be rewarded with further cellaring. Drink now though to 2028

’21 MOUNT MICHAEL PINOT GRIS
$28.50 – $342.00Crafted with pristine fruit, hand harvested from 15-year-old vines in the Queensbury sub-region of Central Otago. The fruit was first crushed and allowed an hour of skin contact, around 40% was then racked to old oak & wild fermented, with the remaining being cool fermented in stainless steel before bottling in August 2021.
The 2021 Mount Michael Pinot Gris has an appealing nose of ripe pear, ginger spice, figs and rose petals. Lots of weight and texture on the palate with notes of red apple and baked pear. The wine is driven by a rich, concentrated mouthfeel, and long textural finish. Complimented by a refreshing acidity and nice phenolic grip.

’16 ISLA RESERVE PINOT NOIR
$69.00 – $828.00A 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.
