Description
Indulge in the exquisite Gašper Rebula Selection 2020, a truly remarkable white wine hailing from the renowned Goriška Brda region of Slovenia. This exceptional vintage, crafted from 100% Ribolla Gialla grapes, presents a sophisticated balance of flavors and an elegant character that beckons for celebration.
The grapes are cultivated at elevations between 80-200 metres, where the unique mixture of flysch, marlstone, and sandstone soils contributes to the wine's distinctiveness. In the exceptional growing conditions of 2020, characterized by a favorable sub-Mediterranean climate, each grape reached peak maturity, ensuring the highest quality of fruit.
Upon tasting, you will uncover:
- A vibrant and clear straw-yellow hue with luminous golden highlights.
- A complex bouquet that unfolds with layered aromas of ripe pear, vineyard peach, and refreshing lime, complemented by delicate hints of orange peel and subtle floral nuances.
- A rich and dry texture on the palate, exhibiting flavors of citrus and dried fruits, layered with a gentle cedar-like grip that culminates in a smooth and persistent finish.
- A refined finish that lingers gracefully, revealing a harmonious blend of fruity warmth, a touch of baby banana sweetness, and a whisper of minerality.
For the ultimate enjoyment of the Gašper Rebula Selection 2020, consider the following serving suggestions:
- Serve chilled at 10-12°C to enhance the wine's vibrant complexity.
- Present in large tulip glasses to showcase its delicate aromas, garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme for an aromatic accent.
- Pair exquisitely with lightly seared scallops drizzled with lemon butter and a side of grilled asparagus for a refined seafood experience.
- Accompany with a charcuterie board featuring creamy triple-cream cheeses, quince paste, and toasted hazelnuts, balancing richness with texture.
- For a creative twist, craft a refreshing white wine spritzer using this wine, sweetened with elderflower cordial and garnished with a thin apple slice and a twist of lemon peel.
- Incorporate into a chilled seafood ceviche, using the wine as both a sipping companion and marinade to elevate brightness.
- Ideal for serving at a sunset garden gathering or a refined brunch, complementing artisanal sourdough and herb-infused olive oil.
This remarkable wine, with an ABV of 13.5% and presented in a classic 75cl bottle, is perfectly packaged in a cardboard box of six, making it an ideal choice for gatherings or an elegant addition to your collection.
Experience the masterful balance and distinctive character of the Gašper Rebula Selection 2020, where tradition meets innovation in every exquisite sip.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine maintain a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve its freshness and aromatic profile. Avoid fluctuations in temperature as they can degrade the wine quality over time.
Store the bottle away from direct light preferably in a dark environment since light exposure can lead to premature aging and flavor deterioration.
Keep the bottle sealed with its original cork to prevent oxidation. Once opened re-cork tightly or use a vacuum stopper and consume within a few days to preserve freshness.
Store the bottle on its side to keep the cork moist and airtight which slows oxidation and aging.
Maintain moderate humidity around 60-70% to prevent the cork from drying out and shrinking which could allow air to enter the bottle and spoil the wine.
Avoid storing white wine in a regular refrigerator for extended periods as this can dry the cork and accelerate aging. Use a dedicated wine fridge or a cool stable storage area instead.
