Domaine Gayda started as a staging post for weary travellers and their horses all the way back in 1749. In 2004, the property was converted into a winery, accommodation and restaurant. They source grapes from throughout the Languedoc region to make wines in both traditional and modern styles.

We’ve got an amazing blend here of syrah and carignan, making for a medium-bodied wine with raspberry and cherry as the highlight fruit profile. There’s some herbaceousness, spice and even tea leaf mixed in. The tannins are moderate and there’s a hint of florals to add some brightness to the wine. It’s so very smooth and an easy, loveable red.
