      Cool-climate precision meets old-vine depth. Pressing Matters Chardonnay 2022 comes from the Coal River Valley, where small parcels of fruit are hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed before a slow, wild-yeast ferment in French oak barriques. A quarter of the barrels are new, bringing gentle texture without overwhelming the fruit.

      The vineyard’s history is woven into the wine. The earliest Chardonnay vines were planted in 1990 at Morningside, with more recent additions in 2020 extending the estate’s range of clones. This mix of heritage and new plantings underpins a wine that balances bright, natural acidity with layers of stone fruit, citrus zest and finely judged oak. It’s a contemporary Tasmanian Chardonnay that speaks clearly of site, season and thoughtful winemaking.

      Pressing Matters Chardonnay 2022
      Pressing Matters

      Two families brought together from a love of wine supported by a passionate and talented team. Greg Melick and wife Michelle founded Pressing Matters in 2002, inspired by the potential of the neighbouring Morningside Vineyard to produce the noble European varieties of Riesling, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet. The first vintage was in 2006.Greg's love of Mosel and Burgundy wines inspires Pressing Matters but Greg’s role as father and grandfather are his proudest achievements.

      Not long after, the opportunity to unite the Morningside vineyard with Pressing Matters saw the Hall family join the Melicks as partners in late 2019. A friendship formed from a love of burgundy and holidays shared in the family home in Meursault now fuels the next stage of the Pressing Matters story. Significant investment in a new winery, tasting room and general infrastructure and new plantings are some of the first steps of the partnership.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Stone fruit lift

      Aromas of white peach, lemon curd and subtle oak spice.

      PALATE
      Citrus and drive

      Nectarine, citrus zest and a touch of toasted almond carried by fresh acidity.

      FINISH
      Clean persistence

      Long, structured and mineral, with oak and fruit in quiet balance.
