About the Winemaker
Christoph Heiss is a rising star in Austrian natural winemaking, crafting distinctive wines under his Malinga label in the Kamptal region of Lower Austria.
Christoph trained under some of Austria's most respected winemakers before establishing his own project focused on site-specific, minimal-intervention wines. His vineyards benefit from the Kamptal's famous loess and primary rock soils, with dramatic diurnal temperature shifts that preserve acidity and freshness.
Farming & Cellar: Christoph practices organic viticulture with hand harvesting and spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts. His wines are unfined, unfiltered, and bottled with minimal sulfites, expressing the pure terroir of Kamptal.
US Natural Wine ships once a week, every Wednesday. All orders should be placed by Tuesday at noon in order to be picked up from our distributors and out on Wednesday's delivery truck.
Shipping cost is 35 bucks a box (up to 12 bottles) so we highly encourage picking up more than 1 bottle for the best value! Remember, all orders over $200 get FREE SHIPPING!
At $35, shipping cost is on par with most wine ecommerce. Ultimately, we eat the cost of shipping more often than not because wine can be damn heavy. We can't thank you enough for your understanding!
