Apogee is a boutique, single-vineyard winery established by renowned winemaker Dr. Andrew Pirie in the cool-climate region of northern Tasmania. Founded in 2007 near Lebrina, Apogee focuses on crafting premium sparkling wines, alongside small quantities of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.

The vineyard is meticulously managed to produce limited, high-quality releases that reflect the unique terroir of the site. With a commitment to precision viticulture and sustainable practices, Apogee has earned a reputation for elegance, complexity, and consistency in its wines.

A vineyard blend of 51 % pinot noir, 39 % chardonnay and 10 % pinot meunier was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed with oxidative handling methods to enhance complex flavours and degrade pigment derived from the black pinot noir skins. The oxidative pressing makes sparkling more complex and less fruity. It was tiraged (bottled with yeast) on 23 November 2021 and is currently disgorged (yeast removal) with around 30 months on lees.
