Apricus Hill, established in 1995, is the highest vineyard in Denmark, on Western Australia's south coast. At 750 feet above sea level and with panoramic views of the southern ocean the vineyard experiences a true maritime effect with cooling ocean breezes make it a true "cool climate" vineyard.
A brilliant, clear steely white with youthful green hues. A vibrant lifted nose of gooseberry and citrus with grassy, savoury notes and hints of gunflint and toasty French oak Grapefruit and passionfruit combine with a textured savoury mid palate with hints of melon and spicy vanillin oak leading to a long crisp finish
This wine will improve with up to 5 years careful cellaring. The use of screw cap technology is critical to the longevity of this wine
It's hard not to be charmed by this. It has tropical and tangy fruit, fresh herbs and bright lemony acidity piercing through the middle. And yet it has texture and complexity thanks to its 50% barrel fermentation in new and used French oak puncheons.
