Now certified organic, Lirac la Fermade 2022 is a strong vintage for this blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre aged in vats. Hints of raspberry, strawberry, and herbs show great freshness on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is silky, supple, and easy, then firms up a little on the finish, giving it the structure it needs to be enjoyed for several more years."

About the estate:
This estate, renowned for its consistent quality, particularly its Lirac wines in all three colors and its Tavel wines, was founded in 1950 by Armand Maby. In 2005, his grandson Richard took over the reins of the vineyard, 53 hectares located mainly on the rounded pebbles of the Vallongue plateau; the vines are cultivated "naturally" and have been in conversion to organic farming since 2019. Since 2011, the eminent Rhône oenologist Philippe Cambie has been advising the estate.

About wine:
A juicy, rich wine, loaded with aromas of baked blackberries and blueberries, framed by bay leaves and black pepper. The concentrated palate, filled with plums, is complemented by a finish of minerality and dried herbs.

About wine:
Very expressive nose of kirsch and licorice. The palate is very juicy on the attack, followed by firm, tight tannins.
