Clare Valley
‘Its one of Australias best red wines…’ Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.

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.

Deep ruby laced with purple and a lovely cedar and cassis bouquet of classic cabernet characters. The wine is at the lighter end of full bodied and really elegant, with bright and penetrating flavour, fruit leading the way, with raspberry joining in the party, and a sheen of fine powdery tannins running the full length of the palate. Great potential here.

Jeffrey Grosset is known for making very fine Clare Valley rieslings that are arguably Australia's finest, but he is far from a one-trick pony. This biodynamic blend of cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc is a wonderfully elegant red; think having a ballerina dancing across your tongue. Volumes were down in 2023 – there were only 400 cases made – but this is a wine that can be enjoyed in its youth, or cellared confidently for a decade or more. It gets 97 points for me for its subtle power and persistence, and would be the perfect match for a classic Sunday roast with the family.
