Mike Press Shiraz 2016
Mike Press Wines
There isn’t much Mike Press hasn’t achieved in the Australian wine industry. Starting off his career working with Max Schubert at Penfolds, he moved to Seppelts, then on to become Chief winemaker for Mildara Blass. He even entered a cleanskin Shiraz-Cabernet into the acclaimed Jimmy Watson Trophy, and picked up 2nd place. Nowadays he crafts single-vineyard wines from his Adelaide Hills vineyard with the philosophy and goal of delivering top quality wine at an affordable price.
The secret to its success lies in a nurtured vineyard, more than four decades of experience and he and his wife Judy's commitment to bringing the best possible wines to the end consumer without charging excessively!

The long run continues. Once again we have superb value on offer here. The fruit is a svelte mix of red and black cherry, the oak is both vanillin and spicy, there’s a slip of anise and a burst of clove. Both the oak and fruit here have as much or more class than usual; this is the best release in a few years. A general smoky, cedary character positively pervades. It has all the hallmarks of Mike Press’s red wines but then, it seems just a touch more refined than previous. Not a bad thing, not a bad thing at all. If you have enjoyed Mike Press Shiraz in the past, you’re in for a bit of a treat with this one.
