Mike Press Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Description

Mike Press has done an extraordinary job with this adelaide hills sauvignon blanc.

Gary Walsh from the Wine Front rates this 90/100….. “I opened this alongside some of its more expensive Adelaide Hills peers (2007 Henschke Coralinga and 2007 Hewitson Lu Lu) and the humbly priced Mike Press acquitted itself favourably. Admittedly from a different. and from what I am seeing. possibly better white vintage the Press is the wine I actually preferred to drink. It had a vivacity and uncompromising Blancness that I found more appealing than the softer 2007 ‘s.Young and vivacious full of banana and tropical fruit. grass. pee and minerals. It has plenty of honey and tropical fruit with a touch of minerality and sheen of sweatiness. There ‘s some chalkiness to the texture which is an attractive touch and chilling it down (they way you would/should drink it) results in better focus and line. The finish is good too often a let down with Sauvignon Blanc. It should be ready for you just in time for summer and the bang per buck value is as obvious as the wine itself. ”
