Anders Frederik Steen & Anne Bruun Blauert, Forever and Ever Child (2023)

"2023 is a vintage that fermented faster than any vintage we’ve ever seen. Most white wines finished the fermentation, before we had even started harvesting the reds. This sparkling rosé is a 12 hours direct press of Syrah. The following fermentation, for only a few days, took place in a fiberglass cuve and from there it went into bottles. In bottles the fermentation lucky slowed down and finished by creating the bubbles over winter.

We have left this Pétillant Naturel on its lees for a little more than a year, which add a little bit of the bitterness. A bitterness that you normally find in wines with longer élevage in barrels. This brings us a less expressive and young fruits with smaller and more delicate bubbles. We have made the dégorgement in fall of 2024 just before the release.

For those who believe in the forever sparking beauty and wisdom of childhood. For those who stay forever young, open, curious, intuitive and full of emotions - Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart. Sometimes it’s what we miss the most we’ll find right in front of us.

This one goes out to our childhood heroes - Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, Le Petit Prince and my all time favorite and friend, who is always landing on his feet, Curious George.”
