This wine is matured in seasoned and new French and American oak barrels for 12-15 months depending on the vintages used in the cuvee, and is then bottle fermented for a further 16-30 months. The wine is typically disgorged three times – the first disgorge occurring after approximately 16-18 months on lees; the second at around 24 months and the final disgorge at 30 months. This enables the blend to fully develop its bottle fermentation characteristics, whilst keeping up with demand. This is a medium bodied wine style that is best served chilled. Typically the bouquet displays sweet plums and cherries, with spicy overtones and the palate is of intense spicy plums, cherries and sweet berries. This wine style is perfectly balanced and has a soft, lingering finish which makes it exceptional drinking early and equally well suited to medium term cellaring. We suggest serving this wine with pre-dinner treats including pate and cheese, Asian style cuisine and sweet meats. It is also great with shortbread, fruit cake, mince pies and other sweet Christmas treats.

All wine is pressed to separate the wine from the solids. During the press cycle most of the wine will drain freely and is called free run. The must, a combination of wine, grape skins and seeds, is then pressed to extract the remaining wine attached to those solids. Wine extracted during this part of the press cycle is generally referred to as pressings. Press wine is about the heavier tannins and structures they impart back into free run wine. Our “Pressings” is a single vineyard wine, pressed through a basket press, with layers of complexity arising from the subtle changes in the wine during the press cycle. The wine is matured in French oak barrels for 21-23 months, depending on the vintage. We use seasoned oak to produce this full-bodied wine style. The bouquet and palate typically display intense sour cherry, rich dark plum and spicy oak. The wine style finishes with delicious, persistent chewy tannins. The wine showcases the complex fruit and tannin structures that winemakers cherish. The Pressings is a robust and balanced wine style which makes it exceptional drinking whilst young, with the structure to develop well into the future.
