Müller-Thurgau is one of the most well-known white grape varieties in the Alpine regions. Created from a cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royale, it originated in Switzerland but reaches its finest expression in South Tyrol, especially in the Eisacktal (Isarco Valley). In this cool, mountainous area, Müller-Thurgau develops into elegant, fruit-driven white wines with crisp structure – ideal for fans of light wines with strong regional identity.
The Eisacktal is regarded as a prime region for high-quality Müller-Thurgau. High-altitude vineyards, cool nights, and mineral-rich soils contribute to wines with precision and energy. Esteemed wineries such as Kellerei Eisacktal and Strasserhof produce Müller-Thurgau wines known for their finesse, delicate fruit, and vibrant freshness.
This variety pairs wonderfully with light dishes such as vegetables, cold appetizers, fresh cheeses, or fish. Its lively acidity and easy-drinking nature also make it an excellent aperitif option that is growing in popularity.
South Tyrolean Müller-Thurgau stands for pure, honest white wine with a sense of place. It combines alpine clarity with a modern, drinkable style – ideal for those who appreciate authentic, characterful white wines.
