Description

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 make it a true “cool climate” vineyard.

James Halliday has rated our wines for the first time in his 2016 Wine Companion and we have begun with a five star rating, we start as we mean to go on.

Looking to the other direction gives spectacular views to the Porongurups across the vineyard. A truly stunning setting.

This is a small family vineyard, creating small volumes of wine.
