The Story
Staffelter Hof is certainly not just any winery. It happens to be one of the oldest wine estates in the entire world, with documents dating all the way back to the year 862! When winemaker Jan Matthias Klein took over this deeply historic family estate in the village of Kröv, he did something completely radical. He threw out all the conventional rules and decided to fully transition to organic and natural winemaking. In doing so, he became one of the absolute founding fathers of the rebellious Nouvelle Moselle. Jan refuses to compromise and crafts vibrant, unconventional, and super energetic wines that are absolutely bursting with character.
The Vibe & Tasting Notes
This Kiss Kiss Maddies Lips is a truly incredible rosé pet nat. A brilliant blend of the local Frühburgunder and Spätburgunder grapes that delivers the ultimate burst of juicy red fruit in your glass. The color is a gorgeous and inviting bright pink. Upon the first sip, you will instantly taste lively notes of wild strawberries, fresh raspberries, and a wonderfully fresh hint of rhubarb. The bubbles are incredibly playful and refreshing, perfectly supported by that typical bright Mosel acidity that makes the wine dangerously easy to drink. This is simply a boundless summer party in a bottle.

Why natural wine costs more, and why it’s worth it
-
No shortcuts
Growers who refuse pesticides and chemical additives accept that they’ll lose a significant part of their harvest to weather, disease, and unpredictable nature, but they do it to keep their wines pure, alive, and honest.
-
Risk and loss
Nature swings between plenty and scarcity; frost, hail, heat and ferments can erase volumes, fewer bottles must carry the farm’s costs, with ageing measures adding expense to keep the wine clean and true over time.
-
Integrity and handwork
Hands replace chemicals: they weed, manage canopies, pick, and sort by hand; presses and gravity moves protect texture, while cleanliness and patient ageing deliver purity without shortcuts, increasing labor but preserving integrity in every bottle.
