Details
The T'Air D’OC Sauvignon Blanc is a nice balance of old world and new world with some classical French notes in the form of savoury notes and crunchy acidity, balanced with new world Savvy B tones of tropical fruit and a touch of grass. This is your perfect glass to soak up some rays by the pool, in either world!
Domaine Gayda is located on the main route between Toulouse and Carcassonne and when visiting the winery, you may be confused into thinking you have travelled through a portal to Stellenbosch or the Barossa. Here you aren’t visiting a French winery where you are about as welcome as a mormon on Grand Final day, you are offered a cellar door experience, a winery fitted with cute Citroen cars and a restaurant with stunning food alongside equally stunning views of the Pyrenees. The winery is the hard work of two partners, Tim (British) and Anthony (South African) and together, they have produced the perfect mix of old world meets new world. The wines incorporate local stories like Flying Solo, which tell tales of the 1920s postmen who flew from Toulouse to Spain to deliver mail in single engine deathtraps as well as the famous Chemin de Moscou which has become a true bellwether of the region. The wines showcase regionality of the Languedoc mixed with clean bottles and plenty of personality.
