Mike Press Merlot 2015 (12 x 750mL), Adelaide Hills, SA.

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.

With a string of awards, the secret to its success lies in a nurtured vineyard, more than four decades of experience, and a commitment to the consumer.

Mike Press started his career with the best, working alongside Max Schubert at Penfolds before moving to Seppelts, and as chief wine maker for Mildara Bass, before planting his vineyard in 1998 to focus on growing quality grapes to on-sell.

the wine was originally sold as clean skins and literally sold itself.In fact, it sold out every year, and the accolades soon followed.

It was then Mike and Judy decided to label the wine – a decision which proved fruitful, seeing it recognised by the most renowned wine writers in the country.Reviews by the likes of Tyson Stelzer and Campbell Mattinson, led to the wine continually selling out.In 2009 it was the only 'single' vineyard in Australia to have three wines in James Halliday’s highly acclaimed top 100 wines with its 2008 Chardonnay, 2008 Cabernet and 2008 Shiraz.

In 2010 it was listed in James Halliday’s top 10 wines for the year; and this year, was named a five star winery in the 2011 edition of James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion.

Despite the success, Mike and Judy’s philosophy remains unchanged – to continue to deliver quality wine at an affordable price, so it can be enjoyed by everyone, any time.
