There are few winemakers confident to leave red grapes to ferment whilst being exposed to the air. Where oxygen is usually a enemy of winemaking, Anders utilises it to add an intense salty character to what we think is one the most truly original, delicious expressions of Alsatian Pinot Noir we’ve ever drunk.
Anders Frederik Steen used to be a sommelier in his native Denmark, responsible for writing some of the best wine lists in the world at places like Relae, Manfreds and Noma. A few years ago he began making a handful of one-off wines with legendary nomadic producer Jean-Marc Brignot and the rest as they say, is history. He now lives with his family in the village of Valvignères in the Ardèche, producing highly original wines from some of the region’s most beautiful vineyards.
