Müller-Thurgau Grape

Müller-Thurgau

The Müller-Thurgau did not even exist little over a hundred years ago. It was invented 1882 by Dr. Herman Müller from Thurgau in Austria as a cross between Sylvaner and Riesling.

Later research using DNA has shown that it is more likely to be a cross between Riesling and Guteldel.

Müller-Thurgau arrived in Italy in 1939 and quickly became popular because of its great yield and the ability to resist hard climate conditions like in the elevated soils of the Trentino region.
       

A mutated version having considerable popularity is known as the Findling in the Lake Geneva region of Switzerland and the Mosel/Saar/Ruwer region of Germany. It is also known under the synonym Rivaner.

The wine is pale yellow with reflexes of green. It has a very delicate, slightly aromatic flavour, and a rich bouquet
