NATURAL WINES BY LA SORGA
La Sorga is Antony Tortul, who started in 2008 as a négociant buying grapes from Languedoc growers he trusted, and has farmed some vines of his own since 2013. His parcels range from schist in Faugères and basalt in the Hérault Valley to pudding-stone high in the Limoux valley, often with Cinsault and Grenache around 70 years old. He co-founded the Brutal!!! movement and drew its famous label himself.
He works lot by lot, with hand destemming, some whole bunches and macerations of three to six weeks, then ageing in sandstone jars or tank, with no added sulphites at any stage. Yields are tiny and most cuvées run to a thousand or two bottles. Look out for Brutal Rouge, Retour de Roy from old-vine Grenache, the Picpoul orange Maître Splinter and the Aubunite red pét-nat.
