Amazing, bright and red-fruited vigorous Carignan. Like nothing we've tasted before. An utter marvel.

"Gritty, granular, savoury. The sunflower seeds and meadow hay on the nose fold into pear puree and gem squash and roasted marrow on the palate – gentle, comforting, subtle with the warm, rounded, wholesome embrace of roasted white and green squash, a sprinkle of spice, a drizzle of olive oil. But there is also a pickled-jalapeño bite that builds into a salty tang-tempered clamp on the finish." (TC) 17/20 Jancis Robinson, May 2021, Grenache Gris 2018 "Bright straw yellow colour with silvery nuances, the nose offers a beautiful aromatic intensity around elegant fruity notes, white fruits, citrus peel, fresh floral touches and a slightly smoky mineral hint.

Fresh passion fruit on the nose - not what one expects from Muscat. - then a bit of crushed apple, mint. There is gorgeous freshness and life in this wine. The passion fruit persists on the palate, but not in a fat tropical sense - it's etched with lemony acidity and tingles, crystalline sharp. Bang tidy.

Floral and delicate aromas, stony, with confit lemon and a subtle hint of roses and oranges. The palate is bright and briny, tight and shiny, brimming with lemons and fresh salty herbs. Retailing in the UK at under £15, this is deliciously amazing value and is a must-buy". 93/100 Decanter Magazine June 2022 "Top Roussillon Wines: 15 to discover"

Natural, organic Syrah from a beautiful vineyard in Baixas, Roussillon. Grown with great care and wildly fermented and aged in old oak barrels for 12 months. Lifted, expressive Syrah with pretty floral notes and minerally fresh red and black fruits with some spicy, meaty notes and soft texture but with some matter and with a welcome, silky fruit character. Charming Syrah. The name 'Chimichurri' is a nod to Vincent's beloved Argentina (see below) because of the wines spicy, meaty character. Vincent Carreras has been working in wine industry for 13 years. For nine years he worked for a winery in the south of the Roussillon – Andy Cook’s Mas Cristine and Coume del Mas. Working in the vineyard, cellar and commercial activities – the whole shebang! For four years now he has been employed by a family winery based in Maury - Clos des Vins d'Amour. Who work 25 hectares organically in the west of Roussillon. Mostly in commercial activities, but also working in the cellar. Alongside this, in 2016, Vincent started a new project - Domaine Odyssée. The 3.5ha of vineyards are in Calce and Baixas, in a heart of Roussillon. The sites are small, but unquestionably some of the most beautiful we have seen. Vincent draws on the experiences mentioned above and his time in New Zealand (2011), Argentina (2012) and Bordeaux 2011 to help fully realise what he has there in his exceptional terroir. Vincent works organically, using no weedkillers, no chemical products. He works by hand and with organic fertilizer (he is in conversion right now). He harvests his parcels by himself with friends and family. In the cellar, Vincent’s philosophy is a minimum of intervention – “To keep the fruit and the terroir”. The wines are extracted gently with just a little pump over. No filtration, no fining. The only preservative is a little dose of sulphites in very low quantities at bottling “It is important for me the stabilise the wine in respect of the future customers”.

A tiny production cuvee from the team at Gayda, Only 263 bottles filled from a tiny argilo-calcaire vineyard ''Los Blancassas' located in Opoul-Perillos in the Roussillon, planted to Carignan Blanc in 1903.

This is a great effort, using the grape skins in fermentation and maceration.

The temperature is kept low (around 12/14c to avoid too much extraction). One small pigeage each day. It is then pressed and then bred for one year in a single used 228 litre barrel. 25ppm total sulfur added at gravity bottling. Limited to 12 bottles for the UK. Grab one now!

Slinky smooth with ruby-bright fruit

A very special wine. Winemaker Vincent comes from the Loire Valley so knows about Chenin from there and time making wine in South Africa. Chenin originated in the Languedoc so bringing it back is exciting. The wine is fermented in egg shaped concrete fermenting tanks, which allows better movement of liquid during and after fermentation than in stainless steel. Some barrel ageing too for texture. Well balanced with a purity of fruit enhanced by its roundness and length.. Highly recommended.
