Tiefenbrunner's Gewürztraminer Merus is part of the Classic Merus line: the Latin term merus (pure) refers to the frank expression of the grape's character. The grapes, which come from vineyards in the Bassa Atesina, are vinified in concrete or steel vats. The wines thus obtained are bottled young and fresh. Müller Thurgau, in particular, is produced with grapes from the hilly vineyards in the locality of Corona, a hamlet of Cortaccia (750-900m above sea level), on soils composed of calcareous gravel of moraine sediments. Fermentation is carried out in steel at a controlled temperature, followed by ageing for 4 months on fine lees in a cement vat.

MÜLLER THURGAU MERUS TIEFENBRUNNER: TASTING

Tiefenbrunner's Müller Thurgau Merus is straw yellow with greenish reflections. The nose recalls lemon balm, fresh mountain grass, peach and apple with hints of cedar and nutmeg. In the mouth, it is lively, with beautiful sapidity and delicate acidity. Beautiful thirst-quenching drink, it is perfect as an aperitif in the company, for example, of salmon trout fillets marinated with herbs, salted butter and rye bread.
