The 2018 vintage has been another impressive one for 'Gaia': while it has the power, density of flavour, and structure of cabernet, it has the plush texture and the approachability of the best examples of the variety. Of course, it will soften and flesh out with good cellaring. The Grosset Gaia 2018 has subtle dark berry aromatics, is powerful, opulent and concentrated with blackcurrant, bramble and graphite flavours and substantial, firmish tannins. - Winery Notes

"In August 2012 we planted Australia's first Assyrtiko at our Lodge Hill Vineyard, a special and unique site treasured by my family and suited to this variety. Our Assyrtiko journey has been fascinating and has enabled us to produce a wine which, I believe, is a true expression of the variety. I hope you find the flavours as interesting as I did in 2006."
