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.
Light to medium yellow colour, with a bouquet showing considerable age development: lots of sherry aldehydes and complex, mellow, straw, hay and toasted bread nuances, a little nuttiness. The aldehydes are surprising. It's a very good wine, although I wonder if bottle variation explains the aldehydes. Bollinger comes to Tasmania! The finish is soft, dry, refined and beautifully-balanced. (June-July 2019 release) Drink 2019–2024.24 MAY 2019
