Nothing taken away.\" No wine is ever made twice, which is why the names keep changing, each one taken from a song lyric or a line of poetry. Much of the fruit comes from Jocelyne and Gérald Oustric at Domaine du Mazel and from the Bannwarth family in Alsace, alongside their own vines at Valgrand. Long slow pressings on an old press, and a long élevage in old wood with no topping up, are the house signature. No sulphur goes in, and neither does anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the Chardonnay and the Sauvignon Blanc are from Domaine du Mazel in the Ardèche. Anders and Anne describe it themselves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Chardonnay from 30 years old vines of Mazel, Jocelyne and Gérald Oustric. Sauvignon Blanc from their younger vines. We pressed the all grapes together directly on the old wooden pressoir of Mazel for five days - we only used the totally of this juice from the four first days. The juice from the fifth and last day was used for another wine.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfter a couple of days of fermentation in a fiberglass tank, we transferred the now fermenting young wine to old barriques. In these barriques the wine finished its fermentation and stayed until bottling in May 2026, meaning close to four years of élevage without any topping up of the barrels. The élevage helped the wine to get rid of the clumsy and often not so elegant exotic fruit of a warm vintage as 2022. It added also another layer of well pronounced oxidation as well as notes similar to the bitter acidity we know from salted lemons and olive oil. Very interesting.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled at 14.75% alcohol. The words above are their own, from the 2026 release notes, and we have not yet tried this vintage ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MORE Natural Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66050916778252,"sku":null,"price":32.17,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0221\/6407\/8692\/files\/Anders-Frederik-Steen---When-do-we-know-when-something-is-forever.png?v=1794481273","url":"https:\/\/morenaturalwine.com\/en-ch\/products\/anders-frederik-steen-when-do-we-know-when-something-is-forever-2022","provider":"MORE Natural Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
