Grosset 'Gaia' Cabernet

RM360.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Grosset Gaia is produced from cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc grown at the rocky, isolated, wind-swept two-hectare Grosset Gaia Vineyard. This tiny hand-tended vineyard planted 33 years ago produces reds with an amazing consistency of fruit flavours and style. The 2016 Grosset Gaia has voluminous perfumes of blackcurrant, bramble and briar that are bold and enticing. It is powerful, dense and full-bodied, tightly wound around its firm core, yet softened by its velvety texture. It has a richness and concentration of flavour, balanced by substantial yet ultra-fine tannins. While more seductive and appealing on release than many vintages of Gaia, the 2016 shows every indication of being as age worthy as wine loves have come to expect. James Halliday (Wine Companion): 98Pts; Mike Bennie (WBM): 95Pts;  Jeremy Oliver: 94Pts – Certified Organic Langton Classification: Excellent (Australian wines of consistent merit. Steadfast, popular and expressive)
