Discover the best wines made with Müller-Thurgau as a single variety or as a blend of Iphofen.
Light, aromatic whites with a tender palate and moderate acidity, with muscat-like aromas of white flowers, apple, citrus, peach and honeyed notes. Made as easy dry whites, popular semi-dry wines and some sparkling cuvées. Widely planted in Germany (Rheinhessen, Baden), northern Italy (Alto Adige, Trentino), Austria, Switzerland, Hungary and Japan. Cross of riesling × madeleine royale created in 1882 by Hermann Müller in Geisenheim.
Elite village of eastern Franconia (Steigerwald, Schwanberg foothills, unique gypsum-keuper soils). Silvaner reigns as the signature white — mineral and upright with intense aromas of citrus, white fruit, herbs and a stony-saline edge, ample structure and long ageing potential. Riesling as taut and persistent companion. Grand cru VDP sites Julius-Echter-Berg, Kronsberg and Kalb at the pinnacle as Großes Gewächs.
