Vintage Report

The 2023 vintage in the Languedoc has been exceptionally well-received, scoring 94 points. This indicates an outstanding quality vintage where the grapes achieved optimal ripeness.

The Grenache grape variety is central to the Gayda winery, and this also applies to the red version. To add a touch of excitement, the Grenache is complemented with Syrah. This results in a much fuller wine with abundant red fruit on both the aroma and flavor.

The high quality of the Gayda wine estate

The Gayda winery is located at the foot of the Pyrenees in the Languedoc region. In 2004, owners Tim Ford and Anthony Record decided to join forces with winemaker Vincent Chansault. And that proved to be a wise move. The winery features ultra-modern equipment combined with traditional winemaking methods. A passion for traditional grape varieties prevails. They are grown as naturally as possible in the many different vineyards. All vineyards are farmed organically, and yields are kept low. Since the beginning, they have received numerous awards for their high-quality wines. Gayda's bottles are instantly striking thanks to their beautiful, meticulously designed design. The Flying Solo series is a tribute to the French airmail pilots who, starting in 1918, flew solo from Toulouse to Spain. Gayda believes they too are flying solo in their approach to winemaking. And in a way, they are. You wouldn't necessarily expect a blend of Rhône grapes, Grenache and Syrah, from the Languedoc.

What does the Flying Solo Grenache Syrah Red taste like?

The final blend is 60 percent Grenache and 40 percent Syrah. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand. The Grenache undergoes traditional vinification. The Syrah is fermented briefly on the skins at a low temperature, resulting in a slightly fruitier final blend. After fermentation, the wine is aged for six months on lees in stainless steel tanks. It is pleasantly and refreshingly fruity. The aroma reveals plenty of dark fruit, such as black cherries and blackberries. The slight spiciness of the Syrah adds a touch of excitement to the blend. On the other hand, the ripe tannins create a soft and ripe finish. The finish is round and seductive. A wine to savor to the fullest!
