Origin

The Müller Thurgau variety, also known as Rivaner or Riesling X Sylvaner, is a cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royal. It was developed in 1882 by Professor Müller from the Swiss canton of Thurgau.

Vintage

The 2023 winegrowing year was characterized by changeable weather and the resulting increased work in the vineyard. A snow-deficient winter and a warm March accelerated the start of vegetation. A typical April and a rainy May led to flowering close to the long-term average. June was unstable, with heat waves and drought. July brought a lot of rain coupled with some very hot days. Despite extreme temperature fluctuations in August, a golden autumn brought us a successful grape harvest with very good grape qualities overall.

Tasting notes

– bright yellow-green
– aromas of peach, nutmeg and elderberry
– juicy, round and balanced, aromatic on the finish

Recommendation

This wine should be paired with light appetizers, poached or sautéed fish, or enjoyed as an aperitif.

Vinification

Destemming of ripe, healthy grapes, after which the must was pressed, and then naturally clarified; fermentation at a controlled temperature of 16 °C, 3-months ageing on the fine lees in stainless steel.

Vineyard

East-facing vineyard slope situated at 550 – 650 meters above sea level. Mineral-rich conglomerates on chalky gravel and porphyry foundation.
