Don’t let the price-tag fool you… this is one of the best value wines out there, and it pains us to reveal this secret little gem. After 42 years making wine for premium wineries including Penfolds, Seppelts, Krondorf and as Chief Winemaker for Mildara Blass, winning the Jimmy Watson Trophy, numerous show trophies and medals, Mike and his wife Judy had a desire to leave the corporate side of the wine business and get in touch with the land by growing the best grapes possible in the premium Adelaide Hills region
When the grape glut hit and the big wineries played dirty on their grape prices, Mike and Judy knew they had the material to make great wine....And they would sell it at unheard of prices to simply recoup the profit they should have received on the grapes used in the wine if sold at a reasonable price. The Winner? You, the wine consumer and enthusiast! Premium Grapes, Great Wine, Unbelievable Value! Mike Press Wines
This label is the bargain cellaring special of the decade. I still have 05s in my cellar and they´re not ready yet. The brand new release is as coiled-up, restrained and structured as any young MPWAHCS I´ve tasted screaming out for a decade to reveal the class of characteristic, cool cabernet.
