Gašper Rebula Selection
An elegant White wine with fragrant pear, peach, and citrus notes, complemented by creamy oak and a mineral finish
Gašper Rebula Selection from Goriška Brda, Slovenia, is an elegant and precise dry white still wine crafted from 100% Rebula (Ribolla Gialla) grapes. Hand-picked and destemmed, the grapes undergo fermentation in large casks before extended maturation on fine lees in French and Slavonian oak, imparting structure and complexity. This straw yellow wine with golden highlights offers a complex bouquet of fragrant pear, peach, lime, orange, and blossom. The soft palate combines excellent fruit weight and creaminess from the oak with a long-lasting mineral finish. A versatile choice, it pairs beautifully with poultry or mature cheeses.

Vinification
The hand-picked and destemmed Rebula grapes spent 4 hours on skins before being fermented in 4,000 litre casks at controlled temperatures of 16-20°C to preserve freshness. To add structure and complexity, the wine was matured on fine lees for one year in 225 litre old French barrels and for a further year in large Slavonian oak casks, with regular bâtonnage, initially twice a week and later once a month. The wine underwent fining and filtration before being bottled for release.
