The wine

A ripe and generous blend offering wild berried notes of blackcurrant and blackberry with a touch of delicate peppery spice. Rounded and smooth on the palate with a moreish finish of juicy black cherries. Basic Instinct is made with no added sulphur at all, which asks a good deal of the fruit and the cellar. Best drunk young and served a little cool.

The producer

Villa Noria

View all Villa Noria wines

Villa Noria is the work of two friends, Fabien Gross and Cedric Arnaud, who grew up among vines in the Languedoc and Alsace respectively. What they inherited from their winemaking families was less a business than an attitude: enthusiasm, ethics and a deep respect for the land.

The estate sits a short distance from the Mediterranean, between Pezenas and Montagnac. The vines are organic and HVE Level 3 certified, farmed in step with the surrounding landscape rather than against it, and the winemaking is deliberately traditional, without chemical additions and with only low doses of sulphur.

The range stretches further than most. The Amfora and Basic Instinct bottlings are made with no added sulphur at all, and the Levin 0% line offers a genuinely well-made zero-alcohol option, which is rarer than it sounds.
