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

Tasting :
This medium-full bodied wine shows great complexity from its noble varietal components: The Syrah dominates on the nose with loads of elegant white and black pepper spice and red berry fruits. The Cabernet’s structure and length ensures a wine with backbone and enough substance to age for 2-3 years. This elegant yet structured wine will be a great companion to spicy red meat dishes and casseroles.
WINE SPECTATOR 87 points for the 2011 vintage.

Anecdote
Propriété familiale des DU PREEZ depuis sept générations. C’est en 2002 qu’elle a acquis, sous la direction de Roelf et Michelle son statut de ferme biologique. Grâce à leurs efforts soutenus à bâtir un cellier moderne et tout le système de vinification, ils peuvent être fiers de leur production de 450 tonnes. Leur philosophie est que ‘Cette terre n’est pas un legs de nos ancêtres mais plutôt que nous l’empruntons de nos enfants.’ http://www.boncaporganic.co.za/
