Lirac | Rouge | 2022

Antarès comes from 50-year-old vines planted on north-facing slopes in the Lirac region, at an elevation of 160 meters. This single-vineyard selection is grown on deep sandy and sandstone soils, providing an ideal environment for Grenache and Mourvèdre to thrive. Vinification is carried out using indigenous yeasts; the Grenache is aged in concrete tanks and the Mourvèdre in demi-muids for 12 months, preserving the wine’s purity and complexity.
