The red Lirac La Fermade from Domaine Maby is an under-rated Chateauneuf’-style blend that is the quintessential fireside red wine.
The red Lirac from Domaine Maby is a failsafe, chest-thumping, crowd-pleaser. Blended from Grenache Noir, Syrah and Mourvèdre it has satisfying scents of red fruit and a concentrated palate of dark plums and cherries with well integrated ripe tannins. It drinks well from bottling but punches well above its modest price tag and can take 5 years bottle-age in its stride.
