Peter Bartle
Winemaker
“I love working with Archangel, I love their passion for coercing the very best from the vineyard and their drive for excellence. The vineyard and wine express the very best of what Central Otago offers”.
Pete has established himself as one of Central Otago’s most successful and respected winemakers with his no nonsense, passionate approach to winemaking. This approach has led the Archangel wines he has made to be met by critical acclaim. Pete has been in the wine industry for 24 years with 16 of those as a winemaker in Central Otago. Pete loves vineyards and really enjoys working alongside the Archangel team getting to get know the site from the ground up. He believes wines are grown, with most of the good work done before the fruit arrives at the winery. It is his job to coerce the best out of the grapes the vineyard has produced and to make wines with poise, texture and balance.
