2018 La Sorga Tireur des Litres

WINEMAKER: Antony Tortul
VARIETAL: Carignan, Duras, Braucol, Grenache, Syrah, Alicante, Merlot
REGION: Languedoc, FR
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic

Whole bunch ferment for carignan, grenache and syrah, the other grapes are macerated “trempette” in cement jars. Fruit bomb ! Blueberry & cassis but also slightly smokey. Long and complex but with great drinkability. Again, great slightly chilled.

"Antony Tortul started La Sorga in 2008 as a pure négociant in Languedoc-Roussillon, sourcing organic or biodynamic grapes from old vineyards from Gaillac to Chateauneuf-du-Pape, the Languedoc being his favourite vinous playground. Antony is extremely rigorous in his selection of vineyards and is always looking for exceptional terroirs. He works with over 40 vineyards of different soils, grape varieties and vine ages (between 25 to 110 years old) ... little wonder that he produces so many labels (and I only import a few of them!) Antony vinifies in his cellar in Béziers, with only wild fermentation, no fining or filtration nor added SO2." - Giorgio de Maria
