The wine region of Thurgau
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.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
