2022 Grosset Gaia Cab Sav & Cab Franc 750ml

Release: April 1st, 2024

Grosset Gaia from the cooler 2022 vintage shows impressive generosity and balance �the hallmarks of this wine for more than three decades. It has positive aromatics, gentle at first, then assertive; there are all the vibrant briary, brambly notes that you would expect. There's a brooding quality about the wine that demands close inspection. It is satiny smooth, tight and fine, but displaying its bright blackcurrant, dark liqueur cherry, blackberry, bramble flavours that are deep, satisfying and long.

This is a cabernet sauvignon (with a small amount of cabernet franc) offering dark berry aromas, vibrant bramble characters and a classic blackcurrant palate. From a tiny crop �barely half a kilogram per vine �this is a wine of intensity, power, and promise. Yet, as a young cabernet, its generously flavoured almost silky palate invites one to sip more. While its youthfulness is most evident with a late firmness, all is beautifully balanced; such is the trademark of this wine.
