2023 Grosset Gaia Cab Sav & Cab Franc 750ml

In the 1980’s the vision of our founder was to make an elegant, balanced vibrant cabernet from the coolest site in the region. This remains the focus. Gaia just rolls out seemingly better vintage by vintage. Hand-harvested late in the season, it has finesse and controlled power with bright plummy, boysenberry flavours, a tightness of structure and tannins that are supple and satisfying. It has wonderful depth and pleasing length.

"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.
