Winemaker Note
Presentation of the cuvée ``L’Après-midi``
L’Après-midi is Peter Michael’s expression of Sauvignon Blanc, inspired by the great whites of Bordeaux yet firmly rooted in the Californian landscape. The cuvée takes its name from the soft light of the afternoon, evoking both elegance and a sense of timeless enjoyment. It combines aromatic intensity with a crystalline freshness, offering a balance that makes it one of the estate’s most distinctive white wines. Always produced in limited quantities, it represents the winery’s pursuit of purity and refinement in every vintage.
The Estate and Philosophy
Founded in 1982 by Sir Peter Michael, the winery set out with a clear vision: to craft wines of Old World inspiration on New World soil. Located in Knights Valley, Sonoma County, the vineyards benefit from volcanic soils and cooling mountain breezes that preserve freshness and complexity. The estate philosophy is to let the terroir speak through meticulous vineyard work and restrained winemaking, resulting in wines that bridge California generosity with European finesse. L’Après-midi is a perfect illustration of this dialogue between continents.
