"Gel I" 2017 - La Sorga

"Gel I" - La Sorga

"Gel I  by La Sorga is a white wine made from white Grenache and Marsanne grapes that come from the Pezenas vineyards. Separate vinifications with the Marsanne which makes 15 days of maceration in whole bunches, while the Grenache is directly pressed. The wine is then assembled and aged for 11 months in wooden vats. Not filtered before being bottled. Gel III is a beautiful aromatic wine that tastes of honey and white fruits. On the palate it is full-bodied, rather dense, and with long closure.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 8/10 ° 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, pasta with pesto.

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.
