Müller-Thurgau
Parentage of the grape: Muller-Thurgau is a cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royale.
History of the grape: This variety was developed by Dr. Hermann Muller in 1882. When naming the new grape, he added the name of the Swiss canton in which he was born to his own surname. Dr. Muller’s goal had been to create a variety with the finesse of Riesling and the reliability and early ripening of Silvaner, which is what he thought he was using. Genetic testing later proved that the second parent of Muller-Thurgau was in fact a lowly table grape called Madeleine Royale, which was the result of an unknown crossing in 1845. Decades later, after Germany’s wine industry was devastated by World War II, growers finally embraced the variety, which does indeed ripen very early and yields as much as twice what Riesling does.

April 2013
Alois Lageder Muller-Thurgau Dolomiti 2011
Snoothrank:
Quite fruity on the nose with layers of peach, kiwi, chamomile and wild flower aromas and just a hint of maraschino cherry. Light weight and fresh in the mouth, this brings lightly peachy flavors to the table wrapped up in lightly nutty and floral suggestions. Theres a hint of green herb and citrus on the back end, which leads to a relatively lo... Read More

Staatsweingut Freiburg Muller-Thurgau Spatlese 2003
Snoothrank:
For such a good year, this 2003 wine from Baden is lacking fruit. This spatlese is made in a drier style but is probably 1% RS. Its 12% alc indicates an attempt to keep it on the dry side. It is more Burgundian than German. Although acceptable as a Burgundian style wine, it lacks the classic German mineral and aromatic perfume that make German w... Read More

Dr. Beckermann Auslese Rheinhessen 2011
Snoothrank:
This 2011 is lacking in fruit and acid. Nice golden color but the wine is sugary due to it being out of balance in sugar/acid ratio. Some floral notes in the nose and some honey but not prominent. A good value at $5. Tastes like a wine from an over-produced grosslage. Possibly Muller-Thurgau grape. My rating -- 83 Read More
