Lively, understated whites with a tender palate and fresh acidity, with delicate aromas of citrus, white flowers, green apple, hay and typical mineral notes. Light and refreshing finish. Made as easy dry whites and more structured lees-aged cuvées. Star of Alsace AOC (one of the historic varieties), absolute signature of German Franconia (Silvaner on shell-limestone soils) and present in Austria and Switzerland. Central European variety of Austrian origin.
Wine canton of north-eastern German-speaking Switzerland on the shores of Lake Constance and the Rhine (~265 ha), cradle of Müller-Thurgau bred locally in 1882. Signature Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder) dominant in red: fine and silky with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spices and a mineral touch, delicate tannins and lakeside freshness. Historic Müller-Thurgau as fruity white (light muscat, apple, flowers). Also lively Riesling-Silvaner.
