Mike Press Adelaide Hills Single Vineyard Chardonnay

This must be one of the most affordable single vineyard, cool climate chardonnays going. It’s just the thing to please the masses when you’re entertaining on a grand scale, because it’s packed with ripe, up-front appeal of pretty frangipane blossom, fleshy yellow peach and generous rockmelon, yet structured with the backbone and grapefruit crunch of its high altitude Adelaide Hills site. With no oak to speak of, it’s up-front, immediate and ready to pour by the carton. $8.50 direct.
