L'Après-Midi An elegant, profoundly aromatic wine from the estate vineyards.

Three Chardonnay clones bring a unique complexity and character to this single vineyard estate-grown wine.

Our newest and highest elevation vineyard,
this Chardonnay is planted at 2000 feet.

Our flagship wine, produced from the same Sonoma hillside vineyard since 1987.

The long, slow fermentation by only native yeasts allows this wine to develop complex aromas and flavors.

Our rarest Chardonnay, hand-selected by our winemaker from the absolutely top barrels of the vintage.

French for "The Quarry", the name of this Chardonnay aptly describes the vineyard's rocky soils.

Our Bordeaux blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Cabernet Franc from our estate hillside vineyard.

Our second wine from our Les Pavots Estate vineyard.

Our limited production Pinot Noir from the Pisoni Vineyard, Santa Lucia.

am very pleased to find that California is known as the place where great wines can be consistently produced, some of them from Peter Michael Winery.”

— Sir Peter Michael
Peter Michael Winery specializes in only single-vineyard designated wines produced from premium hillside vineyards. Each wine reflects the unique characteristics of its "terroir" or site. The foundation of the wine is crafted under the guidance of Nicolas Morlet, winemaker, & Javier Avina, vineyard manager.
Traditional winemaking techniques such as French oak aging, a weekly “bâtonnage” or stirring while in barrel and native fermentations are supplemented by new traditions. As an example, to create the desired humidity found in underground caves, we installed a misting system in our barrel aging room. We have also designed a hand sorting system to ensure that only fully ripened, whole grape clusters make it into the wine press.
