Domaine Gayda, Sphere Viognier 2025

Get to know: Gayda Sphere Viognier 2025

Viognier from the Languedoc: an aromatic, fuller-bodied French white wine from Domaine Gayda's Sphere range.

Tasting Note

Apricot and honeysuckle come straight up out of the glass, which is just what you want from this grape. The palate is creamy and rounded, with ripe apricot and juicy pear filling most of the space. A twist of bitter almond tidies up the finish. If you like your whites aromatic and on the fuller side, start here.

Top food pairings:

  • Roast chicken with lemon and tarragon
  • Mild chickpea and butternut squash korma with coconut milk
  • Pork tenderloin with roasted apricots
Kate Says

"I'd put this on the table with a roast chicken, or a mild curry on a Friday night. Really lovely and rounded, lots of apricot, just a bit of almond at the end. Don't serve it too cold, so you get all that fruit."
