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.

Comprising Pinot Noir 67%, Chardonnay 20% and PinotMeunier 13%. 
Pale salmon pink with a very fine stream of bubbles. Cranberry, Maraschino cherry, strawberry and bruised rose petals. A trace of the salty oyster-shell high perfume from the region. Nuttiness from oak barrels and biscuity yeast character. Pinot Noir gives full, round and rich mid palate on the front of the palate but with a dry, racy, lemony acidity from the Chardonnay on the finish enhanced by the crackling small bead. Finishes full but dry. Dosage 8.5 g/l.
