Logan Wines
Clementine Orange Pinot Gris
Orange, Central Ranges, New South Wales, Australia
A big thank you to Logan Wines for this sample of their 2021 Clementine Pinot Gris.
The pretty orangey peach colour is due to the wine spending time on its skins during fermentation.
From it’s cloudy appearance to the notes of citrus peel, pineapple, guava and grapefruit on the nose, it’s a super interesting wine. Bone dry and super fresh it quenched the thirst and will challenge your preconceptions of Pinot Gris 😜
All opinions are my own. Drink what you enjoy!

A few days ago I introduced the Logan Wines Clementine de la mer and today I’m introducing the next wine in the Clementine trio from Orange, NSW.

“Like it’s namesake, the 2018 Clementine Pinot Gris is a wonderful mix of sweetness and spice and all things nice” 💕 The range is named after Clementine Minnie Logan, winemaker Peter Logan’s daughter.

You’ll notice this Pinot Gris isn’t the typical colour of all the other PGs on the shop shelves. This is because it undergoes what’s called ‘skin fermentation’. This is when the grapes are crushed and then instead of removing the skins straight away, the skins are left with the juice to ferment. If you ever go to a vineyard that’s growing Pinot Gris and it’s around harvest time, ask to take a look at their PG grapes - you’ll notice they’re a greyish, pinky-brown type of colour. Or Google it 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the glass this skin contact Pinot Gris has a wonderful amber hue with notes of oranges, rose petals and spice rising from the glass. While in the mouth it’s full of crunchy apples 🍎, a hint of toffee, tangy citrus and a dry baking-spice finish. Yum!

A big thanks to Carpenter Consulting for sending this moreish sample over 👌

Interesting wine. Bone dry with a pithy finish. Some reductive notes on the nose, combined with some unusual savoury fruit characters. Perhaps persimmon? Makes for a wonderful dry aperitif, or perhaps accompanied by chargrilled octopus. Reminds me of Ravensworth pinot gris, but significantly cheaper.
