Poetry of Silence 2016 (VERY RARE, one per order)

Poetry of Silence 2016 is a natural wine crafted by Anders Frederik Steen, in the Ardeche region in France. This 14.5% complex white wine is made with Pinot Noir grapes, but made as a direct press so not a red but a white wine. The grapes are sourced from their friends at the Bannworth estate in Alsace (where Anders and Anne have a cellar), rather than grapes coming from Ardeche. 

ONE PER ORDER

Poetry of Silence tech notes

1/4 of the Alsace Pinot Noir grapes from Domaine Bannworth were destemmed and fermented in juice of a direct press overnight. It then spent a year resting in cuve, before seeing a full three years of élevage without topping up in old barriques, giving it an oxidative character

Tasting Anders Frederik Steen "Poetry of Silence 2016"

Having tried this EPIC wine with Anders, it was the highlight of the tasting and comes from the reserve selection, having developed now a lot over the years, they decided to rerelease the last bottles they had been holding back for this occasion. Mineralic, salty, edgy, vibrant and complex.  PURE GOLD.
