Mike Press Goes International

As reported in the specialized press last year, Mike Press Wines have joined forces with Bob and Yuko Harris – an Australian-Japanese couple. Mike continues to make the wines, while son James manages the beautiful Kenton Valley vineyard with Mick Rawlings, and Judy looks after sales and marketing with daughter Sarah. The team continues with the same dedication to quality and customer satisfaction as always. ...Read More

Few people can put a tick in the value box as often as Mike Press

Plenty of fruit, well-integrated oak, a good drag of (ripe) tannin and a juicy finish. This is merlot, open and accessible but sans compromise. You get flavour and softness but you also get structural integrity; there’s nothing gloopy about this. Apple juice acidity is the only distraction but it’s offset by tangy notes of strawberry and redcurrant; in any case, everything else here is in a good place.

How does he do it? Shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, rosé and even pinot noir – all between $13 and $16 a pop. ...Read More

Overview

Mike Press Wines, located in the internationally acclaimed wine region of Adelaide Hills in South Australia, sets the benchmark for quality wine at an outstanding price.

Testimonial

The vineyard is planted around Mike Press's house, and he makes the wine, delivering unbeatable value. Sub-$20 sauvignon blancs often wobble around the mouth with vague tropical fruits neither seeking nor delivering cause for thought. This has vital cut and thrust to its array of snow pea, gooseberry and guava flavours, the package neatly tied by no-nonsense acidity.
