Apogee
Apogee produces sparkling wines in Tasmania, Australia's coolest wine region. The winery focuses on traditional méthode champenoise bottlings built from Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay—varieties that thrive in Tasmania's maritime climate and deliver the precision and complexity required for serious sparkling wine. The Deluxe Vintage Rosé and Deluxe Vintage Brut represent the house's core expressions. Both have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Spectator, with the Rosé earning particular recognition at 94.5 points and the Brut at 93.0. Tasmania's cool conditions—marked by moderate temperatures and extended growing seasons—create ideal conditions for retaining acidity and developing the fine mousse and brioche character that define quality sparkling wine.
