GAYDA chose the Grenache varietal considering that it was the oldest grape in the Languedoc for his FLYING SOLO brand. It is also the most important and most cultivated varietal in the region at the time when Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was flying the Languedoc to deliver mail to England and South America.Details

Anecdote
Anthony Record and Tim Ford joined forces with Vincent Chansault to form the very concept of Domaine Gayda in 2003. After the winery was built, we had the first vintage in 2004. Although inspired from various business models in South Africa, Domaine Gayda remains firmly planted in the Old World of wines.
