Pneumatic Wine Press

Every harvest tells a story 🍇✨

Here is a pneumatic wine press (bladder press) in action.

Instead of crushing, it uses gentle air pressure to coax out the purest juice from the grapes.

While traditional basket presses still exist in Rioja, the pneumatic press is a hallmark of modern, high-quality winemaking here. It’s especially important for crafting expressive white wines, where precision and delicacy matter most. This gentle approach gives winemakers the control to create those distinctive “signature” bottles that define today’s Rioja.
