Varietal

Muller Thurgau

Müller-Thurgau is a white grape variety created in 1882 by Swiss botanist Hermann Müller, who combined Riesling with Madeleine Royale. This hybrid grape was developed to ripen earlier and be more resistant to the cool climates of Germany and Switzerland. Müller-Thurgau produces wines that are typically light, aromatic, and easy-drinking, often with notes of green apple, peach, and sometimes a hint of floral or citrus zest. Its moderate acidity makes it less crisp than Riesling, but it offers a pleasant, approachable character that appeals to a wide audience. What makes Müller-Thurgau unique is its versatility and ability to grow in various climates, allowing it to be cultivated in many wine regions around the world. While it may not have the prestige of other varietals, Müller-Thurgau’s adaptability and straightforward, fruity profile make it a favorite for casual sipping and blending.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Trentino/Alto Adige

As the name suggests, the northern Italian wine region of Trentino-Alto Adige is made up of two separate areas, with Trento in the south, and the Adige river in the north. There are few parts of Italy quite as alluring for wine fans as Trentino-Alto Adige, as this is an area in which Italian wines become really quite unique and surprising. As the region is nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps, it is quite a long way from the sun drenched islands of the south, or the rolling hillsides of central Italy. Indeed, the wines of Trentino-Alto Adige are packed full of fresh, vibrant alpine flavors and aromas, and are as influenced by the Germanic styles of wine making as they are influenced by those of the Italians, making the wines of this region really quite unusual, and utterly captivating. Wineries in Trentino-Alto Adige use both native and imported grape varietals for their wines, and they are generally considered to be amongst the finest in Italy.

Wine Enthusiast

Grown at elevations between 1,640 and 2,300 feet, this Müller Thurgau highlights Alto Adige's high class accomplishments in white wines. Aromas of tropical fruits, white flowers and sweet spices captivate the senses from the start. The palate is medium in body, with a lovely texture yielding opulent, but balanced fruit notes of roasted apricot and pineapple, with wild mint on the finish.

Winery Notes

The wine is pale yellow in the glass with an aromatic fragrance of peach and tropical fruits. The wine is dry and medium-bodied on the palate with notable acidity and a fruity finish.
