Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this the same wine as the batch-02 parent listing?
A: Yes — same producer, same vintage (2019), same SKU. Only the pricing model differs: this PDP bundles tax and shipping into the listed price.

Q: How is this different from New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc?
A: Peter Michael's L'Après-Midi is built in the Bordeaux style — barrel-influenced, structured, less grassy. New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough especially) is the opposite: cool-fermented in steel, bright citrus, very little oak.

Q: Can I cellar this?
A: Yes — Peter Michael's Sauvignon Blanc is built to age longer than most. 2019 is in a good window now and will continue to develop through 2028. Store cold and serve at 50–52°F.
