During fermentation the grape skins and seeds float to the top of the fermenting bin, and how you manage that cap of skins has a big impact on the style of wine that comes from that fermentation. For a more extracted wine you need to keep the skins in contact with the fermenting juice more than if you are trying for a more elegant styled wine.

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.
