Great wines for last-minute Valentine’s Day plans | Alistair Gibson
Last week I reviewed some wines for what will undoubtedly be a Valentine’s Day at home.

Domaine Gayda Figure Libre ‘Freestyle’ Blanc 2018, Pay d’Oc (Majestic £14.99 or £12.99 as part of a mixed six) is a really interesting blend of Grenache Blanc, Macabeu, Marsanne and Roussanne and takes its name from the producer’s desire to produce wines from different blends of grapes perhaps not normally associated together and this may vary each year. The bouquet is quite perfumed with citrus, orchard blossom and a touch of green herbs, followed by a quite textured palate with more orchard fruit and mouth-watering acidity and a really broad finish. This would match really well with a seafood risotto or a Mediterranean style bisque.
