Anders Frederik Steen states that Early Eyes 2022 is:
Riesling from the Bannwarths in Alsace brought down to Valvignères to fill up our cellar with wine, after the 100% loss of grapes, we had in our own vineyards that same year. One time in the cellar, we blended the Riesling with a little bit of Viognier from Mazel and left the juice to ferment in 500lt demi-muids.
Here the wine stayed until May 2024, so close to three years. In May we bottled the Riesling/Viognier, something the wine didn’t appreciated. We decided therefore, to give the now bottled wine another year in cellar, to regain its balance. Today the balance is there, with a beautiful mix of the well-known and relatively serious Alsacian minerality, the southern fruit and often quite lively acidity. We love it!
