Villa Noria Picpoul de Pinet 'La Serre' hails from the sun-drenched Languedoc region, nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the foothills near Pezenas and Montagnac. Produced by passionate winemakers, Villa Noria embodies a philosophy of organic viticulture, harmony with nature, and a commitment to quality. The vineyard, surrounded by wild garrigue and sheltered by hedgerows that promote biodiversity, benefits from cooling maritime breezes and optimal sunshine hours, resulting in grapes that ripen slowly for exceptional freshness and aromatic complexity. Sustainably farmed and HVE Level 3 certified, the Piquepoul vines are rooted in clay-limestone soils that retain moisture and provide ideal nourishment throughout the hot, dry summers and temperate winters. Fermentation is carried out using only indigenous wild yeasts, and ageing on lees in stainless steel tanks delivers a wine that is pure, textured, and true to its origins.
