The Grosset Gaia Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc is a remarkable blend; striking a harmonious balance of robustness and elegance. Exhibiting a plush crimson hue, the nectar reveals earthy notes of red berry, cassis, and tobacco leaf on the nose. Generous in depth, the palate is an orchestra of ripe, black fruits enveloped in fine tannins and whispers of oak. Its complexity sings a fabled story of the Clare Valley terrain, harnessing a characteristically long, dry finish. Perfectly paired with grilled red meats, a bottle of this exquisite wine promises a memorable dining experience. A testament to Australian viticulture, indeed.

Tasting Notes

The Grosset Gaia 2018 is opulent and powerful, with aromas of dark berries. The flavours of blackcurrant, bramble and graphite are plush and concentrated, and the firmish tannins, that will soften and flesh out with cellaring, are textured and long.
