Gayda lies at the foot of the Pyrenees, in Brugairolles, in the Languedoc region. Founded in 2004, the Gayda winery has established itself as one of the finest estates in the Languedoc region. This success is largely due to winemaker Vincent Chansault. Traditional winemaking is combined with the latest techniques. Each plot is vinified separately, later to form a beautiful blend. The vineyards are farmed organically, and yields are deliberately kept low. This is the only way Gayda can deliver the highest quality.
The harvest is done entirely by hand, after which the grapes are transported to the winery in small 20-kilo crates. Here, the grapes are hand-selected and slowly transferred to tanks using gravity. After pressing, 20 percent of the wine ferments in oak barrels, and the remaining juice in stainless steel vats. Finally, the wine is aged on the lees for six months.
The Chardonnay is a light golden yellow. The nose offers subtle aromas of white fruit, fresh butter, and a light toast. It also has a touch of the exotic, with hints of green melon and honey. The palate is soft and broad. A true crowd-pleaser with a fresh, vibrant finish.
