Belzébrut 2020 - La Sorga

Belzébrut - La Sorga

Antony Tortul once again amazes us with the Belzébrut, a refermented product with the ancestral method following the old rural tradition. The grapes used are those of Colombard, an autochthonous French grape variety. Squeezing and first spontaneous fermentation in steel tanks. The wine is bottled with the addition of fresh must, and in spring the fermentation starts again with the production of bubbles. An unfiltered wine so as to have all the flavors of the grape. Belzébrut gives us fragrant aromas and a strong acidity, a particular and extremely enjoyable glass. Striking for the ease of drinking.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 6/8 ° in tulip glasses. Wine to drink immediately but if left in the cellar a few years can give great emotions.

Pairing

It goes well with vegetable dishes, with preparations based on fish, pork, to try with seafood penne.

Cellar: La Sorga

La Sorga is located in Vias, a small town near the Pyrenees in the department of Langeuedoc-Roussillon. It was founded in 2008 by Antony Tortul, a training chemist, and today has become a point of reference for the production of natural wines. Antony's idea was to select, buy and vinify grapes from different areas of the South of France. All the grapes are native and come from old vines grown in a biodynamic or organic way. Among the bred grapes we find; terret blanc, terret gris, cinsault, grenache, aramon, carignan, aubun, mauzac, vermentino, ugni-blanc, sauvignon, mourvèdre. Every year between 20 and 34 cuvées are produced in this way, and each one reflects the terrors from which it comes. In the winery the vinifications are not very invasive, with spontaneous fermentations and refinements in cement tanks or old wooden barrels used. Since 2013, Antony has started to vinify grapes from his own vineyards. All the wines of La Sorga present themselves with an incredible energy and courage, and with an attractive and sometimes irreverent line of labels, on the style of young producers. We also find a label dedicated to Chuck Norris, a red Pet Nat obtained with an ancestral method from gamay grapes.
