Once the wine has finished fermenting, it is sent to press. The free run wine has been drained from the bin before the pumice (leftover grapes skin) is dumped into the bladder press. The pumice is then pressed at increasing levels of pressure to extract the remaining wine from the grape, without breaking any of the seeds.
