BEFORE he passed away in 2004, Malcolm Logan loved nothing more than donning his North Sydney Bears beanie and scarf, grabbing a bottle of his own bubbly and cheering-on his team on TV.<\/p>\n

Today his son Peter has inherited his dad’s skills in creating sensational sparkling wines from fruit from the Logan premium, cool-climate vineyards on the frosty hilltops outside Orange in Central Western NSW.<\/p>\n

His latest release is a 2009 ‘M’ Cuvee named in honour of his dad and interestingly, and unusually, made from equal portions of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier \u2013 with two-thirds being from red grapes its got a nice salmon pink colour and brims with strawberry and spice characters on a creamy palate.<\/p>\n

Beaut buying at $35 for that next big celebration.<\/p>\n

ENJOY this with barbecued prawns
or pork chops with sweet ‘n sour sauce\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

ONE FOR LUNCH:<\/b> A FLAVOUR-explosive Ros\u00e9 from Margan Family Winemakers shows just how good this style can be when it comes from a stand-out vintage such as the Hunter Valley enjoyed in 2011.<\/p>\n

Made from Shiraz fruit from the company’s 40 year old Fordwich Sill vineyard, winemaker Andrew Margan has labelled it Ros\u00e9, but with ‘Shiraz Saignee’ on the label as well \u2013 Saignee (which is pronounced sanyay) being a French term that refers to the juice run-off from the red grape skins.<\/p>\n

The Fordwich Sill vineyard produced just 0.5 tonnes to the acre of fully-ripened fruit in 2011, giving Andrew Margan the opportunity to create a wonderfully-flavoured wine that’s bright pink in colour, has vibrant berry and cherry aromas, a palate of juicy red fruits and a dry finish.<\/p>\n

At $17 it’s a great drop to enjoy with barbecued prawns, or pork chops with a sweet and sour sauce.<\/p>\n
