In his almost 30 year career Mike Hayes has made award-winning wine at vineyards across Australia and New Zealand. A third generation viticulturalist and winemaker, Mike began his passion when chipping grapes for his father at the age of 15 years.
Mike blends traditional techniques with the O'Reilly Canungra Valley Vineyards' state-of-the-art technology. His invaluable experience in growing wine grapes in the Gold Coast's unique climate enables him to produce the best fruit in order to make the best wine.
The meticulous attention Mike pays to his grapes throughout each stage of the process may be in contrast to the vineyards' mission of 'celebrating the simple pleasures of life', but it seems to be working with O'Reilly's Canungra Valley Vineyards wines receiving a number of national and international awards since the vines were first planted in November 1998.
