Description: "Call it the power of suggestion, if you will, but we always find delightful apple flavours in this clean, fresh little Chardonnay. Grab a bottle and see for yourself. The emphasis here is on zippy, refreshing fruit, not on oak or anything else, which is just as it should be. If you're up for something more technical and flavour-concentrated, then trade up to the Logan Chardonnay 2006."
- Matthew Jukes and Tyson Stelzer 'Taste 2008 - The Best Wines of 2008'
Details: WINEMAKING:
After crushing and gentle pressing, the juice was clarified by cold settling and racking. The pressings were hyperoxidatively handled before fermentation. It was inoculated with QA23
and Pris de Mousse yeast. The fermentation took place over 15 days in a combination of stainless steel tanks and French and Hungarian oak barrels on low solids. Approximately 20% of the wine underwent partial malo-lactic fermentation. The
wine was lightly filtered before bottling.
Producer: Logan Wines – Central Ranges, NSW, Australia
Pale straw in colour, with a slight green hue. The wine has aromas of pear and orange rind. The palate combines peach, lime and cashew with a long mineral finish.
Bright with golden hues. On the nose, delicate aromas of white peaches with hints of honey, slightly fumé. On the palate, creamy, soft, with balanced acidity and notes of bananas. Long, agreeable finish
Fresh citrus and limey flavours to more peachy apricot and honey blossom flavours. These are complimented by the soft entry and fresh mouth feel that is long and lingering, finishing of a well balanced multidimensional and complex wine without being to serious-to be enjoyed everyday.
