Origin

The Acantalys Lirac Red is produced in the Lirac appellation, located in the southern Rhône Valley of France. This region is known for its Mediterranean climate and terroir that contributes to the wine's character.

Variety

This red wine is typically crafted from a blend of traditional Rhône grape varieties, which may include Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault, reflecting the classic composition of Lirac reds.

Production

The wine is produced by Vignerons Tavel, a cooperative known for quality winemaking in the region.

Aging is typically done in stainless steel tanks or oak barrels to balance freshness and complexity.
