Winemaking: Organic Grenache grapes were harvested by hand and infused into driect press Cinsault juice that came from Le Mazel. Macerated for 9 months. Fermentation with indigenous yeast. Pressed into old barrels for 1 year. No fining, filtration or added sulphur.
This Wine: Natural wine somewhere on the dark rosé, light red spectrum. Oyster shells on the nose followed by salty and candied red fruit on the palate with some delicate floral notes. Wild but approachable. Best served with food.
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.
