Sunlight turns dust into stars 2022 is a natural wine crafted by Anders Frederik Steen, in the Ardeche region in France. This light red wine is made with Carignan grapes.

 ONE PER ORDER

Anders Frederik Steen and Anne Bruun Blauert work out of Valvignères in the Ardèche, and their motto is "Nothing added. 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.

The Carignan comes off the oldest Carignan vines at Domaine du Mazel in the Ardèche. Anders and Anne describe it themselves:

“100% Carignan, from oldest vines of Carignan planted by Jocelyne and Gérald Oustric, and their father. The grapes we harvested were very ripe, but still with some freshness, and particularly a very precis bitterness. We destemmed a big part of the grapes around 75% and the rest we pressed directly. The juice from the direct press juice and the destemmed grapes has been macerating together for almost ten months, then décuvage, fermentation and élevage on lies in old barriques for two years.

Carignan has many faces, often it presents itself stronger and more tannic, than what this wine represent. For us this wine is perfect image of the Carignan we love to drink, light as a rosé but strong in its profile of flavours as what we know central italian light reds or the red lighter red wines of Jura. This Carignan has been evolving a lot, especially in barrels, the first year in barrel the acidity and the tannins didn't really find each. But after that one year passed the classical flavour profile of Carignan came back - flavours such as spices, ripe prune, black cherries etc, and since this profile has only become more pronounced - but at the same time it has merged with both the acidity and the fragile tannins. It's for that reason we've decided to keep the wine almost two years in bottles in our cellar before releasing it. We have done this to ensure that the evolution and expressing of this Carignan is stable.”

Bottled at 11% alcohol. The words above are their own, from the 2026 release notes, and we have not yet tried this vintage ourselves.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

NATURAL WINES BY ANDERS FREDERIK STEEN

Anders Frederik Steen is a true legend in the natural wine scene, and his winemaking philosophy is simple: “Nothing added. Nothing taken away.” He crafts his wines in the Ardèche region of France with his partner Anne Bruun Blauert, and what's unique is that none of his wines are ever made the same way twice—hence, the many different labels, each inspired by song lyrics or poetry.
Steen uses an old press with a slow, gentle technique and brings a creative, experimental approach to his wines. Expect juicy flavors, oxidative notes, complex layers, and some pretty unique grape blends depending on the bottle. Since the wines change with every vintage, you’re guaranteed never to taste the same wine twice. With high demand and a loyal following, his wines are becoming highly collectible, selling out fast, so grab them while you can!
