Master the Wine Press Service with Expert Instruction
Our wine pressing service provides hands-on experience with professional equipment designed to extract the finest juice from your fermented must. You'll learn to operate both basket and bladder presses, understanding how gentle pressure separates premium juice from skins and seeds while preserving your wine's delicate character and aromatics.
Understanding the Grape Pressing Process
The wine pressing process begins one week after crushing, when fermentation has transformed your grape must into wine. You'll push the fermented mixture through our press systems, extracting the remaining juice that represents the final essence of your vintage. This crucial step determines your wine's quality, body, and aging potential.
Professional Equipment for Superior Wine Quality
wineUdesign provides state-of-the-art pressing equipment that ensures gentle extraction without bitter tannins from crushed seeds. Our systems separate free-run juice from pressed fractions, giving you control over your wine's profile. You'll achieve professional results under expert guidance, creating a vintage worthy of your private barrel and eventual bottling.
