In the Shadow of the Morning Sun is 100% Grenache Noir sourced from a single vineyard in the southern Ardèche village of Valvignères, where the morning sun disappears behind a mountain peak before it reaches the vines. 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.
The 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.
The 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.
Released 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.
