Wine Description
Our eponymous Logan range features wines made exclusively from grapes grown in Orange, in some of the highest altitude vineyards in Australia. These high altitude vineyards bring much to the table, creating wines of restraint and elegance akin to European styles but always with Australian fruit character.
The Logan 2019 Chardonnay is golden straw in colour with aromas of floral white peach, almond and nectarine. The palate is focused around a grapefruit core with flavours of mellow lemon butter and ripe pear with a smooth long 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.
