Region: Valvignères, Ardèche, France

Winemaking: Organic Cinsault grapes from the vines of Le Mazel were harvested by hand and combined with Syrah grapes from vines of the winemaker. Direct press before fermentation with indigenous yeast. Pressed into old barrels for 2 years. No fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural wine somewhere on the dark rosé, light red spectrum. On the wilder side with notes of tangy green apple, electric red berries and bitter herbal notes. A versatile wine for food pairings. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Anders Frederick Steen & Anne Bruun Blauert hail from Denmark but settled in the Ardeche to focus on their winemaking dream in back in 2013. Since then they have become one of the most sought after names in the natural wine world. They produce wines that are honest and representative of this wild region. The pair don't look to recreate the same wine each vintage and instead adapt to whatever conditions a new year brings.
