Anders Frederik Steen "In The End All That Is Left Is What We Give" Rose 2023Separately direct press of both Syrah and Viognier. This press was shorter and faster than what we normally do, meaning around 2 3 days of each. The juice was blended the days after the pressing. Full fermentation and levage in our old wooden foudre over winter and spring on the lies. Soutirage a week before bottling in the beginning of June. The time in the old wooden barrel, allows the wine to breath and get rid of the young, sweet and simple fruit
