The Apogée series from La Vierge epitomises the very best expression of terroir from our beautiful vineyards. It is a vineyard site driven wine that emphasises the subtle differences in altitude, aspect, clonal expression and soil that make our vineyards unique.
Minimal winemaking intervention is utilised to allow the vines to speak for themselves. As the name suggests this wine is the ultimate expression of wine from La Vierge, the epitome of our efforts both in the vineyard and the winery.
Varietals: Merlot 32%, Cabernet Sauvignon 28%, Cabernet Franc 22%, Malbec 10%, Petit Verdot 8%
This wine expresses the typical Cabernet Sauvignon profile of blueberry and mulberry along with subtle hints of leather and spice, while the Cabernet Franc shows floral and subtle dried herb characters. The Merlot brings the vibrant red berry and juiciness to the palate. The Malbec brings a lush juicy palate and rich colour to the wine, while the Petit Verdot brings an array of dark fruit and grip to the wine.The fine grained tannins and elegant mineral core will see this wine drinking well on release and developing for at least 5-7 years. Enjoy this wine with red meat, venison and cheese platters.
