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\u003cp\u003eThe Syrah is off their own vines at Valgrand, just south of Valvignères, with the Chardonnay from Domaine du Mazel. Anders and Anne describe it themselves:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Syrah from our vineyards at Valgrand, an area just south of Valvignères, known for its soil dominated by Marne Bleue. The combination of the salty minerality from Marne Bleue and the fragile tannins from nine months of maceration of both destemmed Syrah and the Chardonnay from Mazel, is very interesting. It gives the wine a beautiful strong structure, another direction and a whole other balance, something more similar full-bodied wine with richer tannins, but still with very light tannins and a very present young fruit - almost Ploussard-like. One year of élevage in Demi-muid, bottled in early June of 2026 and after bottling another half a year in the bottles before release.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottled at 13.5% 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":66050916581644,"sku":null,"price":34.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0221\/6407\/8692\/files\/Anders-Frederik-Steen---Hungry-nights.png?v=1794481268","url":"https:\/\/morenaturalwine.co.uk\/products\/anders-frederik-steen-hungry-nights-2024","provider":"MORE Natural Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
