The Wine & Winemaker
- Winemaker: Jan Matthias Klein (Staffelter Hof)
- Region: Kröv, Mosel, Germany
- Grape: Müller Thurgau
The Story
Jan Matthias Klein is back with an absolute banger. The name of the wine is a brilliant nod to the iconic grunge song by Nirvana and instantly shows that Jan does not take the wine world too seriously all the time. What he does take very seriously is the quality in his vineyard. For this wine, he uses the often misunderstood Müller Thurgau grape and completely transforms it into a true rockstar. No boring, traditional style, but pure, wild natural wine full of character and rebellion. It is the liquid proof that the winemakers of the Nouvelle Moselle are bursting with creativity.
The Vibe & Tasting Notes
Pour it and you instantly see a beautiful, joyful, and cloudy color. The wine literally pops out of your glass with a massive dose of energy and super juicy aromas of wild peach, elderflower, exotic fruit, and a fresh hint of citrus. The mouthfeel is surprisingly soft, wonderfully juicy, and extremely crushable, kept perfectly in balance by an invigorating acidity. This is pure rock and roll in a bottle. It is the ultimate thirst quencher for a loud party in the warm summer sun.

Pause or change your subscription at any time. Going on holiday and want to skip a month? No problem. Got excited after trying out a 1-bottle box and want to go for the 3-bottle box next? No problem!
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.
