Apricus Hill, established in 1995, is the highest vineyard in Denmark on Western Australia’s south coast. At 750 feet above sea level and with panoramic views of the Southern Ocean, the vineyard experiences a true maritime effect with cooling ocean breezes, making it a true 'cool climate' vineyard. A thoroughly modern West Australian Chardonnay is produced utilising only free-run juice, and it is then enriched with maturation in older oak. The oak was steamed (not toasted) to deliver a pleasing depth while retaining freshness and fruit flavours.
