BEFORE he died 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.
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.
His latest release is a 2009 "M" cuvee, named in honour of his father and interestingly, and unusually, made from equal portions of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier. With two-thirds being from red grapes it's got a nice salmon-pink colour and brims with strawberry and spice characters on a creamy palate.
Beaut buying at $35 for that next big celebration.
