Müller-Thurgau is a white grape variety developed in the late 19th century by Swiss grape breeder Hermann Müller. It is a cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royale, aiming to combine the best qualities of both. This grape is known for its ability to thrive in cooler climates and is widely grown in regions like Germany and Switzerland. The wines produced from Müller-Thurgau are typically light and fruity, with floral aromas and a crisp acidity. They often feature flavors of green apple, pear, and citrus. This variety is popular for making easy-drinking wines, suitable for casual occasions and food pairings.
