Gašper Sulec 2023
Meet Gašper Sulec, a refined Slovenian white wine that reflects the essence of the Goriška Brda region. This famous wine-growing area is known for its steep slopes, terraced vineyards, and rich marl soil. The sub-Mediterranean climate, characterized by the influence of warm sea air and cool air currents from the Alps, creates a perfect balance between warmth and coolness—an essential element for growing aromatic, fresh grapes. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 80 to 200 meters above sea level, contributing to the complexity and minerality of the wine. Gašper Sulec is a carefully crafted blend of three grape varieties: 33% Chardonnay, 33% Rebula, and 33% Sauvignon Vert. This wine is produced with the utmost care and according to traditional methods. The grapes are hand-harvested, ensuring the quality of the crop. After harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 14°C, preserving the fresh aromas and delicate flavors. The wine also matures entirely in stainless steel vats, highlighting its minerality and fresh acidity without being influenced by oak flavors.
With a refined alcohol content of 12.5%, Gašper Sulec offers an elegant, medium-bodied tasting experience. This wine is the perfect choice for the true wine lover seeking an authentic Slovenian experience, infused with character and craftsmanship.

Description
Producer
Gašper Čarman, the owner of Gasper Wines, is one of the most prominent wine experts in Slovenia. He won the title of Best Sommelier of Slovenia twice (2013 and 2015), achieved the prestigious WSET Level 4 diploma, and is currently in his second year of the renowned Master of Wine program. For him, learning is a continuous process; even after 14 years in the wine world, he remains fascinated by new discoveries. From a young age, Gašper was surrounded by wine and gastronomy. Growing up in the family business – the restaurant Danilo – gostilna & vinoteka in Reteče – he developed his passion for wine. In 2004, he took his first steps as an independent entrepreneur in wine sales. What started as a small garage business quickly grew into a successful online wine shop and a flourishing distribution network for both private and business clients.
In 2013, he launched his own wine brand: Gasper Wines. For Gašper, wine is about the experience in the glass, more than the story behind it. A first impression can lead to a long-lasting relationship with a wine or just a fleeting encounter. This idea was central to the creation of Gasper Wines. The wines are produced in collaboration with Klet Goriška Brda, one of the largest Slovenian wine cooperatives. Thanks to this partnership, the recognition of Gasper Wines continues to grow, both in Slovenia and internationally. Gasper Wines embody the character of the unique terroir of Goriška Brda and are designed with the wine lover in mind.
