His whites are crafted with an old-school wooden press, emphasizing natural production methods without any additions.

What stands out in Steen's wines is their distinctive personality and reflection of the Ardèche terroir. Each wine tells a story of its origin, driven by Steen's creative and unconventional approach. He continuously seeks to experiment with each vintage, striving to capture the unexpected and unique expressions of the grapes.

Anders Frederik Steen's wines are more than just beverages; they are expressions of his journey and philosophy, combining his culinary expertise with a deep respect for nature and the art of winemaking.
