Apricus Hill, established in 1995, is the highest vineyard in Denmark on Western Australia’s far south coast.  At 750 feet above sea level and with panoramic views of the Southern Ocean the vineyard experiences a significant maritime effect with cooling ocean breezes making it a true “cool climate” vineyard.

This Sauvignon Blanc has been made with only the “free run” juice – the first run, finest quality juice without the bitterness and phenolics associated with the grape skin.  Two thirds of the juice was fermented at low temperatures in a stainless-steel tank to capture the inherent delicacy and finesse of this aromatic variety.  The balance was fermented in new French oak 500 litre puncheons adding texture, spice and complexity to the blend.

Each vintage our winemakers explore new varieties, vineyards, styles and techniques.

Occasionally these trials and experiments yield results that deserve to see the “light of day”.

Some of the wines may never be produced again creating a selection of wines that will be forever in a state of “flux”.

Similarly, the label is also in a state of flux – each individually numbered bottle has its own unique image.

A digital thumbprint is created for each wine using its unique data – tonnes harvested, date harvested, GPS location of the vineyard, chemical analysis, bottles produced, etc.

The wine’s numerical “identity” is used to manipulate the label generating thousands of unique iterations.

The 2018 vintage has been described as one of the best in memory.  The perfect conditions (not too hot and not too dry) resulted in some outstanding parcels of fruits producing wines that will be long lived.

This wine is a blend of three special batches from the 2018 vintage - Denmark Malbec, Denmark Cabernet and Mount Barker Cabernet.  It has been matured in 2/3 new and 1/3 second fill French oak barriques coopered in Bordeaux.
