Müller-Thurgau | Grape variety



Müller-Thurgau is an important grape variety that plays a particularly prominent role in the picturesque region of South Tyrol in northern Italy. This grape variety, named after the Swiss breeder Dr. Hermann Müller from the canton of Thurgau, was created at the end of the 19th century by crossing Riesling and Madeleine Royale.

Müller-Thurgau enjoys great popularity in South Tyrol due to its adaptability to the cool, alpine climate and varying soil conditions. Wines made from this grape variety are characterized by their fruity aromas, lively acidity and refreshing lightness.

In South Tyrol, where there is a wide variety of viticultural crops, Müller-Thurgau is often grown as one of the main grape varieties. Winemakers take advantage of the region's unique terroir to produce wines full of character with delicate floral aromas, notes of citrus and a pleasant, balanced flavor profile.

Müller-Thurgau from South Tyrol thus embodies a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, and the region's winemakers have done their best to realize the full potential of this grape variety and produce wines of the highest quality. - Gerardo [TS06/23]

"There are many misunderstandings about Müller-Thurgau, concerning its origin on the one hand, and its quality on the other. The fact is that it is the cross of a Swiss researcher named Hermann Müller from the Swiss canton of Thurgau. Originally, it was assumed that he had crossed Riesling with Silvaner, which led to the synonyms Rivaner or Riesling X Silvaner, which can still be found today. Thanks to modern DNA analysis, however, it is now known that it is in fact a cross between Riesling and Madelaine Royal, a grape variety that no longer exists today." - Falstaff
