LA SORGA
France, Languedoc
Antony Tortul started La Sorga 2008, he set it up with the goal to produce natural wines by combining organic and biodynamic farming without interventions. In 2017 he canged all his equipements for much better clean cellar. He uses vines in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon which are between 40 and 110 years old. Anthony has several plots with exceptional terroirs (hillsides, well drained over a wide range of geological profiles: shale, clay-limestone, quartz etc.) selected in order to obtain naturally low yields. He favours isolated vineyards to avoid any contamination by chemical treatments. The vines are cultivated without synthetic products, they are plowed or kept grassed in order to favor the microbial life of the grounds and follow a strict specifications concerning the culture, the yields, the sanitary state and the stages of maturity. Harvest is done manually, he follows simple and respectful vinification, non-interventionist style. A slight filtration may be done with the gravity from the moon.
