ABOUT THIS WINE
The Logan Weemala Pinot Noir 2023 is a red wine from Australia's Central Ranges, produced by Logan Wines.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Logan Weemala Pinot Noir 2023 is produced using a combination of winemaking techniques. A portion of the grape must is fermented in small open fermenters with twice-daily plunging, while the rest is processed in larger rotary fermenters. Twenty percent of the fruit is fermented with whole bunches, and a small amount undergoes carbonic maceration. Following fermentation, 20% of the wine is aged in French puncheon oak barrels, with the remainder maturing in stainless steel tanks. The grapes are harvested between late February and mid-March.
