Grosset Gaia Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc is an exquisite Australian wine that showcases the elegance of South Australia's vineyards. It boasts an intense, yet balanced fusion of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and plum flavours, with hints of eucalyptus and subtle oak spice. An underlayer of fine, tannic structure and a sophisticated finish makes this full-bodied wine a masterpiece. It's a beautiful expression of terroir, combining Cabernet Sauvignon's power with Cabernet Franc's sophistication. The Grosset Gaia is a truly admirable wine, reflecting the dedication to producing the highest quality wines in the Clare Valley region.

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.
