James Halliday 95 Points — 'Old Money, Seeing No Reason to Flaunt Its Character'

My Wine Man on Grosset

Jeffrey Grosset is one of Australia's most celebrated and meticulous winemakers — a Clare Valley legend whose Rieslings are benchmarks for the variety, and whose Gaia Cabernet blend is widely regarded as the finest red wine produced in the Clare Valley. Gaia is the estate's flagship red — a meticulously conceived Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, made only in exceptional vintages.

Tasting Notes

Old money, seeing no reason to flaunt its character — an elegant parade of black and redcurrant, wild herbs and finely ground tannins, with perfectly integrated oak completing the picture. James Halliday 95 Points.

Style & Drinking Window

Medium to full-bodied with extraordinary precision, restraint and length. Drinking magnificently now with 12 years of bottle age, and will continue through 2032–2040.

Perfect Food Pairing

A structured Cabernet like this calls for premium grass-fed beef — try with the Cape Grim Grass-Fed Rump Steak, available from our sister store My Meat Man. Premium Tasmanian grass-fed beef has the depth and structure to match Gaia's elegant restraint and dark-fruit precision beautifully.
