Famille Fabre ‘L’Instant’ Red - Pays d’Oc, France
Producer's Notes:
Fruity, fresh and spontaneous cuvée: as simple, generous and convivial as any moment spent with your friends. The objective of this wine is to accompany easy, festive moments: very discreet tannins, and fruit. We call it a glouglou wine! Malbec made its arrival in this blend on the 2018 vintage and the profile of the wine has been greatly improved.
What we say:
Fresh, supple and wonderfully approachable, L’Instant Red is an easy-drinking Southern French blend - from Corbieres, to be specific - crafted for pure, everyday enjoyment. Bursting with flavours of ripe red cherry, blackberry and plum, it also shows gentle notes of spice, wild herbs and a touch of soft earthiness. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied with silky tannins and a juicy, vibrant finish that makes it instantly likeable - the kind of wine you can open any night of the week without overthinking it.
