Protecting the Naming of Tasmanian Sparkling Wine

Matt Kramer writing in the Wine Spectator 26 October 2016

"Try to find sparkling wines from Australia's Tasmania Island. You'll be impressed, I promise. Maybe even astonished at the degree of refinement and sheer—dare I say it?—Champagne-like elegance of Tasmania sparkling wine."

 

APOGEE DELUXE VINTAGE BRUT 2015

$66 rrp approx | TASMANIA | DIAM | 12.6% ALCOHOL | DRINK 2019-2024 

45% pinot, 49% chardonnay, 6% meunier;  aged 42 months on lees; 8.5g/L dosage; currently disgorged 27 June 2019

95/100
 
Huon Hooke

Huon Hooke

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. 24 MAY 2019.

APOGEE DELUXE VINTAGE ROSÉ 2016

"Piper's River pinot noir is the secret to many of Australia's most refined sparkling rosés and Andrew Pirie knows this as well as anyone.
