LOGAN LOGAN SHIRAZ NEW SOUTH WALES 2021 750ml

ABOUT THE WINE

Logan is a family owned and operated winery in the NSW Central Ranges area (that’s Orange and Mudgee) of which Peter Logan is the owner and head winemaker. Their grapes in Orange are amongst the coolest grown in the country, sitting at 1000 metres above sea level on an extinct volcano, Mt Canobolas. Cool to cold temperatures, long slow ripening, plenty of sunshine and ancient volcanic soil provide a particular terrior for pinot noir, pinot gris, riesling, chardonnay and other grapes, including elegant spicy shiraz. Being 400 metres lower than Orange, the neighbouring region of Mudgee has a climate characterised by warm days and cool to cold nights in the growing season, while the soils are ironstone and quartz laced gravelly loam, conditions great for growing shiraz and tempranillo with character and depth.
Logan range consists primarily of traditional varieties and blends with a couple of cold climate heroes (Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir). These wines are made purely from our grapes grown in the high altitude of Orange, in some of the highest altitude vineyards in Australia. The restraint and elegance feel European, the fruit character is distinctly Australian. The delicate embroidery on the labels reflects the unique fruit flavours of each wine. Each one is lovingly and skillfully executed. Just like the wine.
The Shiraz grapes for this dry red were harvested at 13.0° Baumé on the 9stMarch 2021 from 27 year old vines planted in rich, deep volcanic soils on the north-facing slopes of Mount Canobolas inOrange,New South Wales. With an elevation of more than 800 metres,the vineyard is one ofthe coolest in the state.

TASTING NOTE:

The Logan 2021 Shiraz is deep garnet in colour. The perfumed aroma has dark cherry, mulberry, tarragon and white pepper. The plush, medium bodied palate has fruity flavours of red plum and white peach before a lingering peppery finish.
