About The Wine
The Ridge of Tears wines are Peter Logan's homage to his late ancestors. Two Shiraz' from two different NSW regions showcasing the differences between the vineyards where they are grown. These wines recieve the most attention and care in the winery from Peter and his team. They are powerful and savoury. They are treated to the best oak.
The Mudgee wine is the bigger, brawnier of the two, with deep pools for fruit and a lavish, smooth mouthfeel. James Halliday awarded this vintage 95 points and Campbell Mattinson awarded it 94.
It's a fitting wine to honour his forefathers, one that will thrill the Shiraz enthusiast who is intrigued by the differences that site has on the finished wine.
About Logan Wines
Logan wines have been a source of excellent value NSW wines for many years.
The label began in 1997 as a partnership between Peter Logan and his father Mal. The wines were an immediate hit with the locals.
Today, owner/winemaker Peter Logan delivers quality at all price points. His wines are clean and bright and made with a strong sense of regionality.
These are good, honest wines that consistently overdeliver for the price.

From The Producer
The face on the label personifies Peter Logan’s great ancestors. 'Druim nan deur' is Scottish Gaelic for 'Ridge of Tears', the old Logan clan war cry. It's an apt name for a wine that has aged this winemaker. Ridge of Tears showcases two shiraz wines from Mudgee and Orange.
The range demonstrates the great quality of these regions, especially in shiraz, showing how good they can be and just how different they are. But it hasn't been easy. In order to make the best possible shiraz from each region we grow the grapes on the best sloping sites, we restrict the vines to low yields in order to achieve perfect balance and concentration, we ferment the small batch of grapes in open fermenter tanks which we plunge by hand and then basket press before mellowing in oak for 12 - 15 months.
In the end the wines are savoury with depth and intensity. The two wines are really quite different yet both are perfumed and retain an elegance in line with the Logan house style. And now they're bottled, the tears are happy ones. Let the ageing begin.

Critic Reviews
"Sourced from a vineyard only 70kms from the Ridge of Tears Orange Shiraz, and yet a completely different beast. This is beefy and substantial with a swagger of tannin holding it all in firm place. Blackberry, woody herbs, chocolate, coffee grounds. It's dense and long and shows all the sings that it will be a long termer." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)
"This is rich and substantial. Far richer than the Orange version. This is chocolatey, full, essentially grunty, packed with blackberry, cloves and cocoa. Tannin hits and spreads and in the end: holds firm. It’s not as complex (nor as charming) as the Orange version but it has impact and presence. It’s arguably the better wine; just. A fascinating duo." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
