Mike Press Wines Pinot Gris 2026
AU$22, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
This delivers flavour. It tastes of pears, apples, candied citrus and gentle aromatic herbs, and from start to finish it feels pure, lively and refreshing. There’s a gentle grip to this wine – like grape skins, pressed – which helps give it a bit of extra gravity. It’s zippy and more.
