Eternal Return White 2019

Eternel Retour Blanc 2019,

La Sorga

Antony Tortul loves old vineyards: he devotes his life to finding and vinifying them. Just as there are landless shepherds, he can be defined as a landless winegrower, in other words, a wine merchant whose area of ​​activity extends throughout Languedoc and, eastward, as far as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in search of the best terroirs. Born in Foix, with six years of experience as a viticultural technician and oenologist in various vineyards in the south of France, he founded La Sorga in 2008. His enthusiasm leads him on a path filled with favorites, and each of these favorites is a vineyard. The result is a stunning mosaic of natural, lively, and spirited wines, reinvented each year with around thirty cuvées per vintage. Few winemakers can include such a variety of grape varieties on their menu: the whole of southern France is included, with muscats, grenaches, picpoul, mauzac, carignan, cinsault, marsanne, alicante, braucol, duras, viognier, len-de-l’el, and all the rest.
Frédéric Nietzsche, on the label, savors a glass of wine, and we wish him all the best. Does this mean that we are tempted to keep returning to this macerated white? Only tasting will tell you... The grape variety is unique, a yellow mauzac harvested on pudding soil in Castelreng, in the upper Limoux valley. The harvest is done in two selections and the vinification is done in soaking (maceration of berries or whole bunches in must obtained by direct pressing) for forty-five days. The aging, on lees, continues for eight months in vats. This is a wine that will not leave you indifferent with its nose of baked apple confirmed by a sensation of tarte Tatin in the mouth! Also on the nose, sweet spices, saffron, roast juice, we already taste the complexity. On the palate too, complexity, florality, salted butter, and yet freshness. This wine will literally go with everything.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
