exploring taste—santa margherita gruppo vinicolo
MÜLLER THURGAU
This variety, born at the end of the 1800s when botanist
Dr Müller from the Swiss canton of Thurgau mixed
Riesling with Madeleine Royale, should be grown in areas
with a high temperature range to guarantee the wine a
wide variety of fragrant volatile molecules, belonging to
the class of terpenes (floral notes), volatile thiols (medicinal
herbs, tropical fruits), volatile phenols (spices) and hexanol
(freshly cut grass, sage). These varietal aromas complement
and overlap with those that result from the fermentation
esters, with notes of fresh and ripe fruit.
