In a few words ...
It's a TWIL favorite! Bathed in sunshine and swept by the Mistral, terroirs and grape varieties produce a wine of great balance. This Lirac 2016 is a blend of 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 15% Cinsault. 20% of the wine is aged in new French oak barrels for 4 months.

I'm only familiar with the 3 cuvées that Twil has offered us on private sale, but I found a reason in this bottle to drop in on the winemaker to discover his other offerings. I'll take it back, too, because, I confess, I drank it a little quickly and can't say much more about it.

Once again, I was pleasantly surprised by the suggestions on the site.
I recommend them.

A very good, powerful wine, with red fruits in brandy while gaining freshness on the finish.
Château de Manissy
Château de Manissy is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 12 wines available to purchase, including the wine Lirac • Trinité 2018.
Appellation
Lirac
The appellation Lirac is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Château de Manissy and its 12 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
