Why You'll Love It
Gaia shows a completely different side of Clare Valley, where altitude, wind and old Cabernet vines give concentrated dark fruit, refreshing definition and a long, structured finish. A serious, rewarding wine to open with roast beef or cellar for further complexity.
About The Producer
Jeffrey Grosset established Grosset Wines in 1981 and has become one of Australia's defining fine-wine figures. His precise Clare Valley Rieslings helped set a new benchmark for the variety, while Gaia demonstrated that Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc could be equally expressive on the valley's highest, windswept slopes. Grosset planted the isolated, two-hectare Gaia site in 1986 and has farmed with a rigorous focus on soil health, organic practice and low yields. The estate's wines are marked by fruit purity, structural detail and exceptional ageing potential. The same uncompromising attention to site that made Polish Hill Riesling famous gives Gaia its remarkable concentration and finesse.
Winemaking Information
Grosset Gaia 2018 is grown on an isolated, east-facing two-hectare site at the highest and coolest point of the Clare Valley. The estate's 2018 release sheet confirms certified-organic farming, 13.7% ABV and an unfined wine suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are hand-harvested and fermented with careful extraction; oak ageing builds structure and ageing potential. Exact 2018 blend percentages and the new-oak proportion are not stated in the release sheet and have not been inferred from other vintages.
