Gašper Markiza Rose 2024

The Gašper Markiza Rosé is an exclusive quality wine from the famous Goriška Brda region, located in the west of Slovenia. This region, often referred to as the ‘Slovenian Tuscany,’ is known for its perfect blend of a sub-Mediterranean climate, warm sea air, and refreshing cool winds from the Alps. These unique climatic conditions provide the ideal environment for the grapes to ripen to perfection, resulting in wines of exceptional quality. The Gašper Markiza Rosé is made from 100% Merlot grapes, a variety renowned for its fruity and silky-smooth taste. The grapes are handpicked, with only the healthiest and ripest ones selected. The grapes are kept cool (up to 8°C) before fermentation, preserving the fresh fruitiness of the Merlot in the final wine.

The production process of this wine is a true art form. After a short cold maceration, the grapes are gently pressed within two hours. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 24-26°C, ensuring optimal extraction of the fresh Merlot aromas. After fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel containers, which helps maintain the purity and fruitiness of the wine. To preserve the pure fruitiness, the entire process is carried out in a protected CO2 atmosphere, without contact with oxygen, which enhances the primary aromas. With an alcohol content of 12.5%, this rosé is light and accessible, making it the perfect choice for those looking for a refined, yet not too heavy wine.

The Gašper Markiza Rosé is an excellent choice for lovers of elegant, yet playful wines. Cheers to the enjoyment of a glass of Gašper Markiza Rosé!

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.
