Gašper Cabernet Franc 2021

Gašper Cabernet Franc is an exceptionally elegant and refined wine originating from the prestigious Goriška Brda wine region in Slovenia. This region, known for its picturesque landscape of steep hills and terraced vineyards, offers the ideal conditions for growing the highest quality grapes. The Gašper Cabernet Franc is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes, a variety globally praised for its versatility and the deep, complex flavors it produces.

The grapes for this special wine come from vineyards located at an altitude of 80 to 200 meters above sea level, a location that provides the vines with the perfect amount of sunlight and excellent soil drainage. After a careful, manual harvest, where only the best grapes are selected, the Gašper Cabernet Franc undergoes a balanced and precise production process. The wine matures for 18 months, using a variety of barrel types to achieve the perfect balance between the wood notes and the fresh fruitiness that is so characteristic of this wine. The aging process takes place partly in new French oak barrels of 350 liters, partly in larger Slovenian oak barrels, and partly in stainless steel barrels. This careful combination of aging methods allows for a subtle integration of the wood flavors, enriching the wine without overshadowing the vibrant fruit aromas.

With an alcohol content of 13%, the Gašper Cabernet Franc is a wine that is not only accessible but also versatile enough to pair with a variety of dishes. It offers a refined drinking experience for true red wine enthusiasts.

Flavor character Gašper Cabernet Franc

The Gašper Cabernet Franc has a deep, ruby-red color with purple nuances, beautifully reflecting the concentration and intensity of the wine. The nose reveals a complex bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, with aromas of cherries, plums, and blackberries, giving the wine an inviting, fruity scent. Alongside these fruity notes, there is also a subtle spiciness, with a hint of black pepper and a range of herbs, which deepen the wine and add complexity. On the palate, the Gašper Cabernet Franc is full and lush, with silky tannins that provide the wine with an elegant structure. The long finish is a testament to the wine’s exceptional aging potential, which is expected to develop further over 15 to 20 years. The harmonious combination of rich tannins, fruity flavors, and spicy accents makes this wine particularly versatile and suitable for a wide range of culinary occasions.

The Gašper Cabernet Franc pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted meats, such as lamb, beef, or game dishes. The wine’s rich character also complements aged cheeses or refined gourmet dishes. The spicy nuances accentuate the flavors of grilled and spiced dishes, while the fruity aromas provide a refined balance with savory meals. For the best result, it is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature of 16 to 18°C, so that its complex flavors and aromas can fully develop, and the wine’s refined character can be expressed at its best.

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.
