Tiefenbrunner Muller Thurgau Feldmarschall Von Fenner 2022 750ml

The Tiefenbrunner 2022 Alto Adige Müller Thurgau Feldmarschall Von Fenner shows a light golden hue and additional fruit weight from a hot and dry vintage. Those pretty notes of reduction that usually define the bouquet are played down in the case of this bottling. The aromas recall tangerine skin and lemon rind, and there are candied aromas as well. The wine shows a moment of leanness on the mid-palate, followed by thickness, with ripe apples and orchard fruit. This accessible vintage is less brilliant and contoured compared to recent past editions. Production is 14,000 bottles.

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.
