Description

Gayda's quest for taste continues through this new blend of Muscat and with Macabeu for even more structure and richness whilst keeping its pure freshness. Plenty of ripe stone fruit character alongside touches of lemon and white grapefruit.

A blend of 70% Muscat and 30% Macabeu matured in steel and amphora.

This limited edition range is designed as an ode to Domaine Gayda's spirit of creativity and inventiveness. Inspired by The Passenger, the classic pop-rock anthem by Iggy Pop, its inherently restless character is expressed through a red and a white wine that are made from a different vineyard and terroir each year, underscoring its ephemeral nature.

"Full bottle 1,142 g. Certified Ecocert organic. 70% Muscat, 30% Macabeu.

Mouth-wateringly bright on the palate. A little bit of pineapple (slightly on the tart side), white passion fruit, a wash of broad and tingling acidity, sweet grapefruit and green sage and a tiny bit of saltiness that takes me to the sea. This is the epitome of freshness. It's a celebration. It's an energy tonic. And it's just 12.5%. It's magic. Good Value.
16.5 points."

Domaine Gayda

Domaine Gayda was built in 1749 as a Staging Post for travellers where horses were refreshed and changed. Owners Tim Ford and Anthony Record joined forces with winemaker Vincent Chansault in 2004, creating the modern face of wine from the region. Domaine Gayda has a passion for the traditional ‘cépages’ grown across the many diverse soils and climates situated throughout the Languedoc. While the vineyards are firmly rooted in tradition and ‘terroirs’, the winery itself is all about the innovation.

Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon, situated in southern France, is renowned for its diverse and high-quality wines. It benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine, hot summers, and mild winters, ideal for viticulture. Languedoc-Roussillon produces a wide variety of wines, including robust reds from grape varieties like Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, as well as crisp, refreshing whites and rosés. The area is also known for its excellent sparkling wines, particularly Crémant de Limoux. The diverse terroir, ranging from coastal plains to mountainous areas, and a mix of traditional and innovative winemaking techniques result in wines with distinctive character and depth. Languedoc-Roussillon is a must-visit for wine enthusiasts seeking a rich and varied wine experience.
