Introducing Gapsted Estate’s High Country Alpine Valleys Pinot Noir Rosé: The Ultimate Spring & Summer Sip.
As the days grow warmer and the evenings stretch longer, the season of Rosé is upon us. And just in time for spring and summer, Gapsted Estate is excited to reveal our new High Country Alpine Valleys 2024 Pinot Noir Rosé. Crafted with precision and passion, this wine embodies the cool-climate elegance of the Alpine Valleys, making it the perfect companion for the sun-soaked days ahead.
Our High Country Alpine Valleys 2024 Pinot Noir Rosé is more than just a pretty pink wine; it’s a complex and vibrant expression of its terroir. The 2024 vintage was carefully crafted to showcase the unique characteristics of Pinot Noir grown in the cool, elevated vineyards of the Alpine Valleys. The grapes were picked in the early morning hours when the air was still crisp, preserving their natural flavours and aromatics.
The wine was fermented in stainless steel using a yeast specifically chosen to enhance its Rosé profile. Extended ageing on fine yeast lees added depth and complexity, resulting in a wine with layers of flavour that unfold with every sip. The balance between bright, complex acidity and natural fruit expression is impeccable, making this Rosé both refreshing and refined.
You’ll be greeted with a bouquet of wild strawberries, cranberries, and a hint of spice, all lifted by subtle notes of toast and cream. On the palate, you’ll discover intense flavours of cherries, savoury raspberries, and a touch of blood orange, all wrapped in a silky, mouthwatering texture. The wine’s persistence on the palate is impressive, leading to a long, complex finish that leaves you craving more.
When it comes to pairing this Rosé with food, the possibilities are endless. Here are a few dishes that would make the perfect match:
- Red King Crab with Bisque Sauce: The wine’s acidity and complex fruit flavours will complement the rich, savoury notes of the crab and bisque, creating a harmonious pairing.
- Grilled Salmon with Citrus Glaze: The bright fruit notes and subtle spice in the Rosé will enhance the delicate flavours of the salmon, while the wine’s acidity will cut through the richness of the dish.
- Watermelon and Feta Salad: The sweet and savoury combination of watermelon and feta will play beautifully with the Rosé’s strawberry and cranberry notes, making for a refreshing and balanced pairing.
- Herbed Goat Cheese Tart: The creamy texture and tangy flavour of the goat cheese will be elevated by the wine’s silky texture and persistent finish.
We invite you to experience the elegance and vibrancy of our latest Rosé. Its bright acidity and refreshing fruit flavours make it an ideal wine to enjoy on a sunny afternoon or at a balmy evening gathering. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, having a picnic in the park, or hosting a barbecue, this Rosé will elevate your experience with its lively character and sophisticated charm.
