Château de Manissy Lirac
Château de Manissy Lirac is a lively Lirac wine with depth and balance. Intense flavors of red fruit combined with scents of garrigue, which gradually melt into a long, spicy finish.
The grapes are harvested by hand and come from sandy and clay soils with 'galets roulés' also known as puddingstones on the surface. The vineyards are planted in terraces facing south. After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and cold soaked for 12 to 48 hours. Alcoholic fermentation is initiated by native yeasts and continues at moderate temperatures (24-28°C) for about 20 days. The wine is aged in concrete tanks and 20 to 30% of the wine is aged in 2 and 3 year old oak barrels for 6 months.
