"This hay-colored wine offers a superb nose made of pear, baked apple, citrusy elements, a hint of caraway, curry, and smoky elements. The wine is superbly engaging on the palate, where a fine feel of zesty acidity provides the right cut to juicy and creamy flavors of fruit and smoke. It is beautifully long and driven by a great fresh side in the finish. This gorgeous dry wine combines alluring immediate “mindless” pleasure with great complexity! "

About the Winemaker
Madame Flock
All Madame Flöck’s vineyards are dry-grown, herbicide-free, and hand-tended. This means no machinery ever touches the vineyards, no glyphosate messes with the natural biodiversity of the vineyards, and the team’s hands are blistered, backs broken, and wits lost by the time of harvest. But as the old Roman saying goes – “through hardship to the stars.”
Madame Flock Wines is a micro-winery in the Mosel region of Germany that specializes in sustainably crafted natural wines:
Mission: To restore old vineyards and make natural, dry red and white wines

Shipping Details
**DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, WE HAVE AN UPGRADED, INSULATED SHIPPING MATERIAL TO PREVENT DAMAGING THE WINE IN TRANSIT. THIS INCREASES SHIPPING TO $30/ BOX TEMPORARILY UNTIL THE WEATHER COOLS DOWN. **
US Natural Wine ships once a week, every Wednesday. All orders should be placed by Tuesday at 10am in order to be picked up from our distributors and out on Wednesday's delivery truck.
Shipping cost is 18 bucks a box (up to 12 bottles) so we highly encourage picking up more than 1 bottle for the best value!
At $18, we have some of the most competitive shipping rates compared to other low-intervention wine e-commerce, which can range from $20-$25 a box. Ultimately, we eat the cost of shipping more often than not because wine can be damn heavy. As a small business, we are simply unable to offer free shipping. We can't thank you enough for your understanding!
