Wine Description
Grown in the cold-climate of Orange, NSW, the colour is a result of fermenting the pinot gris on its own skins, providing the stunning colour, delicious texture and crunchy tang.
The 2019 Clementine Pinot Gris is a lovely burnt orange colour. It has bright and rich aromas of blood orange, lemon, wild strawberry, florals (honeysuckle, jasmine & rose), spice (cinnamon, ginger & fennel seed) and walnut with stone fruit (peach and yellow plum). The palate has a distinct tang along with a silky texture and velvety tannins offering structure and length.
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.
