■オーストラリアワイン「Ｌｏｇａｎ Ｗｅｅｍａｌａ」
「Peter Logan」氏のローガン醸造所の「Ｗｅｅｍａｌａ」の「ピノノワール」です。フルーツの香りがするフレッシュなワインです。価格帯からすると「まあまあ」のわいんでしょうか。白黒のラベルがインパクトが強いです。描かれている鳥は、葡萄畑のあるオーストラリアＮＳＷの中央山脈に生息する「Ｂｒｕｅ Ｗｒｅｎ」（ミソサザイ）だそうです。ホームページもしっかりしていました。以下ホームページから少し紹介します。

「Ｗｅｅｍａｌａ２００７」について
2007 Weemala Pinot Noir
Weemala is both an aboriginal word for ‘good view’ and the name of our vineyard in the Central Ranges of NSW. As the birds that live herecan testify, it does have a bloody good view. Right now you’ve got a pretty good view of our Pinot Noir. The 2007 Pinot Noir is cherry red in colour and has perfumed aromas of strawberry, clove and cinnamon with fl avours of cherry, plum and allspice on a smooth palate.
VINEYARD
The Pinot Noir grapes for this dry red were harvested at 13.3°Baumé on the 17th March 2007 from 11 year old vines in volcanic soils in range, New South Wales. The diffi cult 2007 vintage was characterised by very low yields as a result of drought. While temperatures were mild during the growing season, the low yields resulted in very early ripening. The low yields and mild temperatures produced well balanced grapes, although with a high skin and seed to juice ratio.
WINEMAKING
The grapes were crushed by a combination of the pigeage method (using our feet) and conventional mechanical crushing. Pigeage continued in open fermenters throughout fermentation for 10% of the wine with the other 90% being lightly pumped over twice per day. The grapes were seeded with burgundy yeast. The wine was pressed off the skins at 2° Baumé with 50% of the juice completing primary and malolactic fermentation in French and Hungarian barrels (a combination of new and used). This portion was matured in oak for 6 months. The emaining 50% completed primary/malolactic fermentations and maturation in stainless steel. The wine was lightly fi ltered before bottling.
ANALYSIS
Alcohol 13.5 %
Titratible acidity 5.6 g/L
