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.

84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Cabernet Franc. 45% new French oak. The vineyard is now 40 years old. Blackberry, blackcurrant, redcurrant, cigar box, floral/violet perfume, a little nougat richness. It’s medium-bodied, has crunch and energy, a cool cranberry feel to acidity, a graphite/pencil grip to tannin, tobacco, red and black fruits, with a crisp finish of superb length. This is a great expression of Cabernet. So very good. Brilliant, in all definitions of the word.
