"The same old thing. There's plenty of that. Why make more? When I started out, I wanted to make wine that I liked to drink. I wanted to excite me, not cater to a demographic. So against lots of strong opinions (including within my family) I began deviating from the usual winemaker script. Different to what we were taught at wine college. Different to what the establishment was doing. I chose the then unfamiliar NSW Central Ranges as my 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! And our modern cellar door looks out to the world, not inward. I'd guess it's that mindset that has allowed this small independent winemaker to still be excited to do the same old thing for 24 years." -Peter Logan, Winemaker- NSW Central Ranges was once Australia's best-kept secret. Now, more and more people are making the pilgrimage to the beautiful rural towns of Orange and Mudgee to experience some of Australia's finest cool climate wines. Located on the north and west slopes of the Great Dividing Range, Orange is the highest wine region in Australia. Its altitude, cool weather and rich volcanic soils are the perfect ingredients to produce delicate wines with elegance and depth. Mudgee (Aboriginal for ‘Nest in the Hills’) is one of Australia’s oldest wine regions and the birthplace of Australian chardonnay. Slightly lower in altitude than Orange, temperatures in Mudgee are not as cold but gravelly ironstone and quartz laced red loam soils are ideal to create wines of great depth and character.This unique combination of sites and climates allows us to create food friendly wines with variety, delicacy and depth.
