Family-owned since 1994

45th parallel south, above the Kawarau Gorge.

Mount Michael shares the same latitude as Burgundy and looks out over some of Central Otago's finest wine country. Our vineyards sit on schist soils, in a place of hot days and cold nights. This diurnal shift concentrates flavour and builds the structure our wines are celebrated for.

Independently family-owned, we craft award-winning Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Rosé, shaped by the land and recognised for excellence.

Our Winemaker

Twenty vintages, one clear intent: let the land lead.

Andrew Keenleyside is one of Central Otago's most respected winemakers, known for wines that are balanced, expressive and true to place.

After early work in vineyard management, he spent seven years honing his craft in California, Germany and Oregon before committing to Central Otago, where he has now completed more than twenty consecutive vintages, most of them in Bannockburn.

His wines have featured among New Zealand's top releases, with recent Central Otago Pinot Noirs earning elite scores in global Top 100 lists. At Mount Michael, Andrew's focus is simple: restraint, balance and longevity, always led by a clear expression of site rather than trend.

Frequently asked questions

Three Central Otago single-block Pinot Noirs: Bessie's Block Pinot Noir 2021 (our flagship reserve from Bendigo), Mount Michael Pinot Noir 2023 from Bendigo, and The Mountaineer Pinot Noir 2024 from Alexandra.

Each wine is chosen to drink beautifully on arrival, but all three are built to age. Bessie's Block 2021 will cellar through 2029, and both the Mount Michael 2023 and the Mountaineer 2024 will reward a few more years in the rack. Every delivery includes cellaring guidance from the winemaker.
