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\u003eAll the fruit here is from Domaine du Mazel in the Ardèche. Anders and Anne describe it themselves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A long slow direct press of both varieties of grapes, both at the same time - but harvested with one day in-between each other. So, a vertical press made over four days. All grapes are from the vineyards of Domaine du Mazel. We harvested Grenache Noir and a part of the Carignan the same day and the rest of Carignan the following day. We started the pressing of Grenache Noir and Carignan on the first day of the harvest and added the second part of Carignan the following day. After end press we brought all the juice to one of our coldest cellars and filled it into our more than 100 years old Alsatian Foudre. Here the following fermentation has taken place, a short fermentation that finished already in the end of November. The brief élevage over winter and spring has been on the lees, which explains the little hinted complex bitterness and the young fruity aromatic profile.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled at 13.25% 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":66050916450572,"sku":null,"price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0221\/6407\/8692\/files\/Anders-Frederik-Steen---This-time-could-be-the-very-best-time.png?v=1794481257","url":"https:\/\/morenaturalwine.co.uk\/products\/anders-frederik-steen-this-time-could-be-the-very-best-time-2025","provider":"MORE Natural Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
