Description

As with all Mike Press wines, this is a charming little drop for the dollars asked.

Purple florals dance out of the glass with a little hit of spicy lift from the whole bunches used.

Think all things red cherries for this one, with subtle touches of oaky hints. Not the most complex Pinot, but one that holds a lot of enjoyment and is perfect for a no frills quaffer with dinner during the week.

    Amazing value

    This would have to be the best sub-$20 pinot going around. Bright and fresh, medium depth by pinot standards but not watery.

Planted: 1998 with Burgundian 777clone
Vineyard: Mike Press Single Vineyard, Lobethal, Adelaide Hills

When: Drink now or cellar for 5 to 10 years
Food: We all know Pinot and duck are a match made in heaven, but have you tried it with fresh Adelaide Hills cherries? Divine!

Pressed in whole bunches to ensure flavour and integrity of the fruit, the wine holds lovely red and black cherry complemented with earthy tones. The nose shows a fresh violet lift with a spicy complexity on the finish. Soft length on the palate in balance with fine tannins to give it definition and structure.

Mike Press Pinot Noir is an elegant wine with soft dark fruit and a fresh violet lift. This wine has a spicy complexity on the finish, a great example of an expectational Pinot Noir.

Mike Press

Winemaker Mike Press had spent 40 years in the Australian wine industry, working at iconic wineries like Penfolds and Seppelt.

In 1998, he and his wife Judy decided to purchase a property in Kenton Valley in the Adelaide Hills, intended as a future retirement plan of sorts. They planted ~60 acres of vines from 1998-1999, and by 2003 Mike was back in the winery turning the estate fruit into delicious vino.

In 2017, a fellow couple and friends of Mike and Judy purchased Mike Press Wines - however it remains very much a family run business, with Mike still making the wines and their son James running the vineyard. Their mission remains the same now as it was when it started - to make delicious wines at an accessible price!

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
