Founded by seven local wine industry families, Gapsted Estate captures the essence of the Alpine Valleys with its unique terroir of cool alpine breezes, varying altitudes, and fertile soils. This environment produces high-quality fruit, essential to Gapsted Estate's wines. Their portfolio ranges from approachable wines to more prestigious selections, focusing on alternative grape varieties suited to the Alpine region.
Complementing Gapsted Estate is its sibling, Victorian Alps Wine Co, a modern facility at the forefront of winemaking technology. Located in the King Valley, this winery handles large-scale production and premium parcels. The King Valley terroir, with its varied altitudes and temperatures, nurtures classic varieties showcased in the winery's The Buffalo range.
A notable wine from Victorian Alps Wine Co is the Sunday Drive semi-sparkling Moscato. With aromas of peach, apricot, and citrus blossoms, this wine pairs well with Asian cuisine, offering a lively, refreshing character.
As Andrew Santarossa, CEO & Chief Winemaker, and Louise Vogt, Export Manager, showcase these wines at Vinexpo Asia, they highlight the evolving landscape of North East Victorian winemaking. With a focus on quality, innovation, and regional heritage, Gapsted Estate and Victorian Alps Wine Co aim to exemplify the driving force behind Australian winemaking.
