Apogee

Bright ruby Pinot Noir with elegant structure and a full, supple mouthfeel. Red berry and summer pudding aromatics lead to a palate of blueberry and raspberry, finished with subtle toasty oak. Mild tannins and integrated oak create roundness and approachability now, while the wine's tannin and acid framework supports extended aging for up to 10 years. Expect the wine to fill out beautifully with aeration and develop complexity over the next 12 months. 

The Apogee Deluxe Vintage Brut 2022 is a sparkling wine that epitomises elegance and balance, showcasing Tasmania’s cool-climate winemaking at its finest. Pale gold hues reflect youthful vitality and hint at excellent ageing potential, while the fine mousse is persistent, leaving a small collar of foam.

On the nose, expect an initial burst of yeastiness followed by lifted floral aromas of white flowers, biscuity yeast, and a mineral sea breeze or oyster shell note, with subtle hints of jasmine.

The palate is lean, refreshing, and finely balanced by the vibrant acidity typical of Tasmania, leading to a dry, clean finish.

A very pale bronze gold in the glass, the 2024 Pinot Gris opens with classic Apogee aromatics of nashi pear, crushed white flowers, rose and musk over a chalky mineral core. Limited skin contact and the estate's signature winemaking, including partial malolactic fermentation and 30% ageing in 2–4-year-old French oak bring a refined roundness and mid-full body to the palate, while good natural acidity keeps it vibrant and fresh. Sitting somewhere between an Alsace Gris and an Italian Grigio, it's a richer, more textural style shaped by cool growing-season temperatures, free draining ironstone soils and a late April harvest that allowed for a long, unhurried ripening.
