One of my recent white wine discoveries and I have been back for more. There is also an `05 red Lirac on the shelf which I am told "is rather tannic".
13.5% alc, $22 Cdn, synthetic cork, L 3209. "Vigneron independant" on the foil. 60% Grenache blanc, 20% Viognier, 10% Roussanne.
The color is a medium to deep straw, no green. On the nose, great aromatics with spice, floral, mountainside herbs, pear. Very appealing forumites.
Initial entry thoughts were dry-ish, herbal with a savoury finish. Not sure how typical this Lirac white is? Great acidity and did not find any bitterness. I am a big fan of S France whites, this one is great!
