Backside of a mountain 2025 is a natural wine crafted by Anders Frederik Steen, in the Ardeche region in France. This red wine is made with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay 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 Pinot Noir comes from the Bannwarth family at Obermorschwihr in Alsace, with Chardonnay from Domaine du Mazel in the Ardèche. Anders and Anne describe it themselves:

“A two-week maceration of destemmed Pinot Noir from our friends Bannwarth in Obermorschwihr, Alsace. We destemmed the Pinot Noir, selected only the most beautiful berries and started, after another sorting of the berries, the maceration in a little bit of juice from directly pressed Chardonnay from Domaine du Mazel. This Chardonnay had already started its fermentation, something which helped us to make a shorter, but intense extraction of the Pinot Noir. The idea was to preserves the primary flavor profile of the Pinot, the dark red berries, the earthy mushroom-ness and all the floral notes of roses, violets and even thymes.

It's also for that reason, the idea of preserving the primary flavors, we've bottled the wine young. The full fermentation and following shot élevage have been in a fiberglass cuve, something we only rarely do, even with our reds and almost never with our whites. This might make it sound like this wine is a simple red, but the complexity of this wine is obvious and outspoken, its origine of Alsace speaks very well for itself.”

Bottled at 13% 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!
