2021 Anders F. Steen I guess this is what I would have said
Description
WINEMAKER: Anders Frederik Steen & Anne Bruun Blauert
REGION: Ardèche, FR
VARIETAL: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
"The very end of a ten-day long press, starting with sauvignon, then chardonnay and finally the viognier, that represents 80% of this wine. The grapes were harvested faster than we could press them, so we decided simply to add more and new grapes to the pressoir every third/fourth day. The sauvignon and the first part of the chardonnay went into another cuvée. The last part of the chardonnay and all viognier makes up this wine. Aged in old barrels normally used for red wine, the result is a bitter tannic structure–not in a macerated or “orange wine” style–it’s very light and delicate and expressed more as salty notes." - Anders Frederik Steen
Former chef, once sommelier at Noma, Anders started making wine in 2013 alongside legendary Jura winemaker, Jean-Marc Brignot. Now settled in the village of Valvignères in the Ardèche, his wines are truly unique and highly sought-after across the world. Grapes and only grapes, no adds, no sulphur. Tiny quantities.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
