Retour de Roy 2022 is a natural wine crafted by La Sorga, in the Languedoc region in France. This red wine is made with 100% Grenache grapes from 68-year-old vines grown on schist soils in Cabrerolles, within the Faugères appellation.

This is one of La Sorga's standout reds: old-vine Grenache from a terroir known for giving wines real grip and aromatic intensity. Yields are tiny, just 13hl/ha.

The grapes are destemmed and macerated for 30 days, then aged for 9 months in a sandstone egg, with no added sulphites.

Expect a vibrant, energetic nose, with strawberry, citrus, and white pepper alongside fern. On the palate, it shows the classic markers of Faugères schist: a very broad, velvety texture, dominant citrus and white pepper aromatics, plus hints of cumin, all wrapped in enormous complexity. The finish is described as long and dense, a wine built for ageing but already very easy to drink. Finish in one sitting

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.
