Wine Description
What a year 2020 has been! Drought, bushfires and smoke taint spoiled our 2020 grapes. We were staring down the barrel. Our winemakers have been lucky to work with some amazing people in the past and some of our old team pitched in to help us out this year. Thanks to the spirit and generosity of our great friends in Limestone Coast we collaborated to produce a delicious 2020 Weemala Pinot Gris with pristine fruit. We look forward to making another cracking Pinot Gris from our vineyards in 2021.
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.
