Celebrate Prosecco Day with Gapsted Estate’s 2023 High Country Prosecco.
As we celebrate Prosecco Day here at Gapsted Estate, it’s the perfect opportunity to highlight the exceptional qualities of our Gapsted Estate 2023 High Country Prosecco, a sparkling wine that embodies the unique terroir of the Alpine Valleys in Victoria.
The Unique Character of Alpine Valleys Prosecco
The Alpine Valleys region is renowned for its distinct climatic and geographical characteristics, which are particularly favourable for producing high-quality Prosecco. Situated in the high country, the Alpine Valleys benefit from cooler temperatures and higher altitudes compared to other Australian wine regions. These conditions are ideal for growing Prosecco grapes. The elevation and cool climate of the Alpine Valleys allow for a longer growing season, which contributes to the development of vibrant acidity and fresh, delicate flavours in the grapes. The result is a Prosecco with an aromatic profile that is both elegant and expressive, showcasing notes of green apple, pear, and citrus with subtle floral undertones. The high-altitude vineyards also ensure that the grapes retain their natural acidity, giving the wine its characteristic crispness and lively effervescence.
Pairing and Enjoying Prosecco
Gapsted Estate’s 2023 High Country Prosecco is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Made using the Charmat method, its delicate bubbles and bright acidity make it an ideal companion for light appetisers, such as prosciutto-wrapped melon, smoked salmon canapés, or fresh oysters. It also complements more substantial dishes, including seafood pasta, grilled chicken, and creamy risottos. For a classic pairing, enjoy this Prosecco with a traditional Italian antipasto platter featuring cured meats, olives, and artisanal cheeses.
Prosecco is not only a delightful wine to enjoy with food but also a perfect choice for various occasions. Its light and refreshing nature make it an ideal aperitif, setting the stage for a meal or gathering. Whether you’re hosting a brunch, celebrating a milestone, or enjoying a casual evening with friends, Prosecco adds a touch of elegance and festivity to any setting.
How to Serve Prosecco
To fully appreciate the nuances of our 2023 High Country Prosecco, it is best served chilled at a temperature of 6-8°C. Pour it into a tulip-shaped glass, which helps concentrate the aromas and preserve the bubbles, allowing you to savour the wine’s fresh and fruity character.
Prosecco can be enjoyed year-round, but it is especially delightful during the warmer months when its crisp and refreshing qualities are most appreciated. Whether you’re sipping it on a sunny afternoon in the garden, enjoying a glass at a picnic, or toasting under the stars, our High Country 2023 Prosecco is the perfect way to celebrate life’s moments, big and small.
