Dr Andrew Pirie is among a select few vignerons to be genuinely considered a legend of the Australian wine industry. After more than 30 years producing, consulting and guiding the production of wines in Tasmania Apogee is the culmination of all his years of experience.
The philosophy at Apogee is simple; produce single vineyard wines from the best small holdings of no more than 2Ha., using Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Gris that Pirie has personally selected to make the finest sparkling wines available from Tasmania.
The main production is a classically blended, traditional-method sparkling comprising around 35 % of pinot noir and 40% chardonnay and the balance from Pinot Meunier.
53.3/40/7.7% chardonnay/pinot noir/pinot meunier, traditional method, with 45 months on lees, disgorged Jan '20. Pale salmon hue; the bouquet is very complex, the palate even more so, with spiced strawberry fruits, brioche and soft acidity on the long finish.
