WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Weemala Gewürztraminer grapes are typically sourced from Logan Wines' high-altitude vineyards in Orange, NSW, situated over 900 meters. This cool climate facilitates a slow ripening process, crucial for developing the varietal's aromatic intensity and acidity. Winemaker Peter Logan is known for his experimental approach, which may include the use of wild yeasts for fermentation and potentially large format oak aging, contributing to the wine's unique character. The wine is sealed with a screwcap closure. The 'Weemala' range is designed to be approachable and showcase European varietals in an Australian context.
