white grape

Müller-Thurgau

Cool northern climates; early-ripening, forgiving and productive.

Known as: Müller-Thurgau, Rivaner

Müller-Thurgau, bred in 1882 as a Riesling cross, once overtook Riesling as Germany's most planted grape thanks to its early ripening and easy charm.

It makes soft, gently fruity whites of green apple and blossom, lighter and more generous than Riesling's racy edge.

For the buyer, Müller-Thurgau is the friendly face of German wine — easy, fresh and very affordable.
