Grosset Wines philosophy has remained steadfast over thirty years. The emphasis is on purity of fruit. The organically managed vineyards are hand tended, and each bunch of grapes is harvested at optimum ripeness. The winemaking process is gentle and uncomplicated. With dedication, discipline and the application of knowledge garnered through decades of experience, the result is the finest expression of variety and place.
This single vineyard blend of cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc from the rugged slopes of Clare’s highest vineyard shows a consistency of style, yet is distinctly different with each vintage. They can be tight unevolved and lean, or powerful, rich and dense with a surprising immediacy yet there is a core that makes them recognisably ‘Gaia’. The latest vintage is not quite like anything else, in the best possible ways.
The cool, low-yielding 2023 harvest has presented Grosset's lofty, exposed Gaia vineyard in particularly captivating and dramatic detail! A compact and dense core of blackcurrant and cassis is lifted with bright redcurrant fruit, violet fragrance and accented with classic varietal markers of tobacco leaf and cigar box that linger very long and confident. Unashamedly medium-bodied, it presents unrelenting confidence and determination. What really sets this apart among the greatest Gaias in four decades is its powder-fine, mineral tannin structure, woven intricately with cool acidity to create a structural framework that achieves the ultimate contrast of graceful finesse and monumental longevity.
