Wine Description
All of the wines in the Weemala series are comprised of fruit grown in Mudgee and Orange – like all Logan wines – they are supple, fruit-driven and extremely drinkable. The perfect wines for those who enjoy something just a little bit different.
You’ll find the 2018 Weemala Shiraz Viognier has produced aromas of red and blue berries, pepper and spice, tobacco, cumin, carroway seed, fennel seed, bay leaf and summer pudding while the rich medium bodied palate has flavours of red fruit acid finish.
Winemaker's Bio
The same old thing. There's plenty of that. Why make more?
When Peter Logan started out, he wanted to make wine that he liked to drink. Peter wanted to excite himself, not cater to a demographic. So against lots of strong opinions including within his family, he began deviating from the usual winemaker script. Different to what he was taught at wine college. Different to what the establishment was doing.
Peter chose the then unfamiliar NSW Central Ranges as his base, planted Tempranillo, made Pinot Gris when few did, made Gewürztraminer (people still don't), created whimsical labels and stories, fermented white grapes on their skins, used large barrel oak, wild yeasts, and now sell wine in kegs!
His modern cellar door looks out to the world, not inward. It's that mindset that has allowed this small independent winemaker to still be excited to do the same old thing for 24 years.
