Gašper Cabernet Franc 2022

The wine
Gašper's Cabernet Franc is a fragrant, structured red from the hills of Goriška Brda. Cool sites give it freshness and a distinctive, herbal lift.
Blackcurrant, red cherry, violet and a hint of graphite and green herb fill an aromatic nose. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh, with bright fruit, fine tannins and a long, savoury finish.
Made for roast meats, poultry and hard cheese. Serve at cool room temperature.

Gašper
View all Gašper winesGašper is a boutique estate in Goriška Brda, the beautiful hill country of western Slovenia on the Italian border. Run by Gašper Čarman, it crafts pure, characterful wines from this cross-cultural corner of the wine world. The estate has quickly won admirers for its finesse.
The vineyards sit on the marl and sandstone soils that Brda shares with neighbouring Friuli, worked with care and a light touch. Cool nights and Alpine-Adriatic air give the wines their freshness and aromatic lift. Native and international grapes both thrive here.
The range is led by fresh, textured whites, from crisp Pinot Grigio and Malvazija to the local Rebula and a Chardonnay blend. A serious, structured Cabernet Franc shows the red side of Brda. Each is pure and beautifully balanced.
Gašper's wines combine freshness, texture and a real sense of place. They are elegant, food-friendly and quietly distinctive. A rewarding taste of Slovenian wine.
