Summary:

Pressing Matters is a highly focused Riesling specialist, and considering Riesling is one of TAS’ signature varietals, you won’t want to miss the incredible variety of Riesling expressions on offer here. Pressing Matters is a small, family-run operation, which means you will get the most intimate wine experience possible, which really brings the nuance and finesse in their wines alive as you are trying them. Their 2017 R9 Riesling is a stunner with a perfectly balanced bouquet of flavours floating atop a focused line of acidity. And although (or perhaps excatly because) they only produce one Pinot Noir, it is not to be missed if Pinot is your thing.
 
With only 7 hectares under vine and first bottling in 2006, Pressing Matters is a smaller and newer affair, but we expect great things.  With their recent partnership with the nearby Morningside Vineyard (now under new ownership), the sky is the limit as far as where PM will be ten years from now.
