Anders Frederik Steen & Anne Bruun Blauert, Les Vignes des Enfants 2019

Place: Ardèche, France

Grape: Petit Sirah

Vibe: Natural, Rustic

Not for the faint-hearted, but utterly captivating if you're into the wild side of wine. 2019 was a dry, warm year and this vintage has seen four years in old barriques lending the wine a beautifully integrated oxidative complexity. The dark fruit unfurls into bitter herbs and smoked spice. Raw, deep, savoury but most importantly compelling. ABV: 14.5%
