The Age

At the start of the year, the Winemakers' Federation of Australia laid down the facts for our wine industry facing a crippling over supply of grapes.It's a bit of a minefield so let's narrow the field and look to some of the big names and new promising labels out there punching above their weight in their respective price categories:

Mike Press 2008 sauvignon blanc ($10) If you haven't got on to Mike Press Wines, do yourself a favour. Mike Press Wines is a small outfit that hits way above its weight, so forget some of the cheapies from big companies. The shiraz is incredible, but this sauvignon blanc from the Adelaide Hills is so savvy, so flavoursome, so good it could be twice the price.
