Mike Press 'Single Vineyard' Shiraz 2018
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 2018 vintage in the Adelaide Hills really allowed this shiraz to live up to its reputation. This is a wine bursting with flavour, it is a light to medium bodied cool climate shiraz that has become a flagship within the Mike Press portfolio. The palate has richness with ripe red cherries, blackberry and plums. It is integrated with spices and vanilla which has come from the oak. A balanced wine that can easily be enjoyed now but will cellar well for 5 years or more.
“The length and intensity of the wine grow each time you taste it – remarkable stuff” James Halliday

The price/quality ratio here is remarkable. As it is pretty much every year.
Buy. Drink. Order some more. Repeat. This release has been so well turned out. Plum, black cherry, vanilla and toast flavours. Svelte texture. Fine-grained, well-meshed tannin. It’s all in order, it’s all been done well. You can drink this now. You can drink it in five years. Mike Press Shiraz does it again.
