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\u003eThe Viognier is off their own vines at Valgrand, on blue marl south of Valvignères. Anders and Anne describe it themselves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Sparkling Viognier made with the grapes from our vines at Valgrand, a soil of Marne Bleue south of the village - first fermentation in a fiber cuve, a fermentation that was very fast, therefore quickly after the wine was bottled, left to finish the fermentation and age for two and half year in the bottles. We wanted to keep this white sparkling wine on the yeast in bottles for as long as possible, to be able to bring the bitter and autolytic notes more in place, and at the same time have smaller and more delicate bobbles. It means that this pétillant natural has a character more like a Blanc de Blancs sparkling from Northern France, and a less pronounced fruit and sweetness compared to what Pét Nat normally represents. We made the dégorgement in February 2026 but kept the wine another 8-10 Months in the cellar before it was released.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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":66050916811020,"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---Its-a-bit-like-saying-I-like-you.png?v=1794481262","url":"https:\/\/morenaturalwine.co.uk\/products\/anders-frederik-steen-its-a-bit-like-saying-i-like-you-2023","provider":"MORE Natural Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
