Gapsted Valley Selection Pinot Grigio Rosé NV from Gapsted Estate in Victoria’s King Valley is a sophisticated, pale‑pink sparkling with a beguiling hue and a beautifully lifted, fragrant nose that feels perfect for celebrations and long summer lunches. Aromas of peach and wildflowers lead into layers of Asian pear, chamomile, apricot and freshly baked brioche. It immediately reads as a serious, small‑batch sparkling rather than simple party fizz.

On the palate, Valley Selection NV Pinot Grigio Rosé shows white peach, pink grapefruit, cranberry and watermelon, laced with orange‑blossom honey, elderflower and toasty complexity. A bright core of natural acidity and carefully judged dosage drive impressive length and persistence, keeping things focused and refreshingly poised. It’s elegant, finely bubbly and wonderfully moreish.

Food‑wise, Gapsted Valley Selection Pinot Grigio Rosé NV is spot on with a seasonal grazing platter – think soft cheeses, cured meats, fresh berries and stone fruit – as the estate suggests. It will also sing with smoked salmon blinis, tempura seafood or a simple prosciutto‑and‑melon plate, making it an excellent choice for aperitivo and special occasions alike.
