Gasper, Malvazija, Slovenia 2022

So where exactly are we I hear you ask! Well Gašper is located in Goriška Brda, which makes up the two thirds of Collio stretching into Slovenia from Friuli-Venezia Giulia in north-eastern Italy. So the Alps are to the north and the Adiratic sea to the south and west. Both play a pivotal role in the slow ripening, cool climate of these vines.

This wine is golden in colour with youthful hues. Intense aromas of tropical fruit and grapefruit give way to floral notes of acacia. The palate is fruity and pleasantly soft, with distinct almond flavours that continue on the finish. This unique variety is known for being taut and zesty, but also slightly honeyed in character. 13.5% vol.

Looking for an alternative white wine, well this might just be it!
