Anders Frederik Steen and Anne Bruun Blauert work this parcel in collaboration with Gérald and Jocelyne Oustric of Domaine du Mazel, whose vineyards sit on clay and limestone soils and have been farmed organically for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is made from 80% direct-press juice and 20% destemmed grapes, with three weeks of maceration in fiber cuves fermented outside under the open sky using only native yeasts. Nothing is added or removed at any stage: no fining, no filtration, no sulfur additions. Blending decisions are made at harvest, and the juice ferments as one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result lands somewhere between a structured rosé and a light red — transparent in color, with tart red fruit and a savory, mineral edge that reflects the clay-limestone terroir of the Ardèche valley floor. The 1.5L magnum format preserves the wine particularly well and allows for slower, more gradual development in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased as non-vintage, reflecting Steen's philosophy that each cuvée is an expression of a specific moment rather than a calendar year. The wine is bottled under Vin de France classification, which gives Steen freedom to work across parcels and vintages without AOC constraints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anders Frederik Steen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31846755565661,"sku":"AFRSMORNNCM","price":88.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/in-the-shadow-of-nv-magnum-anders-frederik-steen-natural-wine.jpg?v=1780695541","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/in-the-shadow-of-nv-magnum-anders-frederik-steen-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
