Gargantua 2024 is a natural wine crafted by Anthony Tortul of La Sorga, in the Languedoc region in France. This orange wine is made with Colombard grapes grown on 15-year-old vines.

Grown on basaltic clay soils in Adissan, in the Hérault Valley, this is one of La Sorga's more mineral-driven cuvées, with low yields (48 hl/ha) shaping a wine that tastes more like a place than a grape.

The grapes undergo a 42-day destemmed maceration, then age for 10 months in a sandstone amphora, with no added sulphites.

Expect a salty, mineral nose, with notes or hedge / shrub and lime showing real delicacy. The palate has tension, with a finish of hedge/ shrub, citrus zest and Granny Smith apple. 

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

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.
