GASPER - wine of Slovenia - Founded by Gašper Čarman, third generation of Čarman family, which have more than 60 years of tradition in hospitality and wine business.
Long intelligent winemaking tradition of Goriška Brda, with its rich marlstone soil called opoka, hillside vineyards and its semi-continental climate (influenced by Adriatic sea on one side, just 30 km away, and Alps on the other, 35 km away) goes well along with Gašper's modern view on Slovenian wine.
Cheers, Gašper Čarman
