Gayda's Sphere range of wines really shows off the quality of single grape varieties across the terroirs of the Languedoc. They’ve struck a great balance between sticking to tradition and bringing in a bit of innovation to let each grape truly shine. The Syrah’s a deep, rich red with lovely violet hints. On the nose, it’s got a cracking freshness, full of complexity. You get ripe blackberries and blackcurrants, along with a gentle touch of violets. There’s a bit of spice too, thanks to a hint of pink peppercorn. On the palate, it’s silky smooth, with velvety tannins giving it plenty of structure without overpowering. The finish brings a nice bit of black pepper and just a touch of roasted cocoa that lingers beautifully. It’s bold, but elegant—a real treat.
Try this with a roasted aubergine moussaka or roast lamb.
This Syrah is packed with dark berry flavours and a touch of spice, giving it a lovely warmth and depth. It’s beautifully balanced, making it perfect for pairing with grilled lamb or a cosy night in with a hearty stew.
Domaine Gayda, nestled in Brugairolles near Carcassonne, is distinguished by a rich history and a philosophy focused on integrity and quality. Founded in 1749 as a coaching inn the farm buildings were gradually transformed into luxury accommodation, marking the beginning of a remarkable transformation. In 2004, under the enlightened leadership of owners Tim Ford and Anthony Record, in partnership with talented winemaker Vincent Chansault, the estate took a new turn by modernising significantly.
The winemaking process starts with a week of cold maceration before natural fermentation kicks in. Half of the wine ferments at temperatures between 26° and 28°C, while the other half is kept cooler at 22° to 24°C. After fermentation, there’s an additional week of post-fermentation maceration before pressing.
The vineyards are split, with 80% of the grapes coming from La Livinière’s limestone-rich soils, and 20% from the schist soils of Roussillon.
For ageing, 10% of the wine spends 9 months in 3-year-old barrels, while the remaining 90% matures in vats on fine lees for 9 months. After that, the wine is blended and bottled.
