Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Marto

Marto is the label of Martin Wörner, a winemaker from Flonheim, a small village in the western Rheinhessen near the border of the Nahe region. The Wörner family has farmed land in Flonheim for generations. Martin's grandfather was among the first growers in the village to bottle wine under his own name rather than selling grapes to the local cooperative. When Martin's father took over, the family moved away from wine production, selling organic grapes to other producers while running a strawberry farm. Martin took over the vineyards in 2015 and released his first Marto vintage in 2017.

Before starting his own label, Martin trained at Gut Oggau in Burgenland, Austria, with Eduard and Stephanie Tscheppe in 2015, and in 2016 at Matassa in the Roussillon with Tom Lubbe. He farms organically with biodynamic practices, using cover crops of radishes, beetroot, and turnips, grazing sheep between vine rows, and avoiding tillage. His partner Alanna Lagamba makes wines under her own Vin de la Gamba label and contributes to the work at Marto.

Grapes are hand-harvested and spontaneously fermented with native yeasts in old wooden barrels in the family cellar. The wines undergo no fining or filtration, and no sulfur is added. Under German appellation law the village name cannot appear on the label, so the wines are bottled under the Rheinischer Landwein designation.

Wine region

Rheinhessen, Germany

Rheinhessen is the largest wine-producing region in Germany by vineyard area, covering around 26,500 hectares in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is bounded by the Rhine to the north and east, with the Nahe region forming its western border. The terrain is gently rolling, with a mix of valleys and plateau areas, and soils that vary considerably across the zone. The climate is one of the driest in Germany, with the Rhine and surrounding hills providing a degree of moderation.

Soil types across Rheinhessen include sandstone, limestone, loess, and clay, which contribute to the stylistic diversity of wines produced across its 136 villages. Sandstone is predominant in the western portions of the region, including around the village of Flonheim. The region supports a wide range of varieties, from Riesling and Silvaner on hillside exposures to aromatic crossings such as Müller-Thurgau, Scheurebe, Kerner, Bacchus, and Würzer that were planted extensively during the postwar expansion period.
