Information about the competition in 2008

Mueller Thurgau is a grape variety which shows an exceptional successful story. No other new variety has ever known such a spreading than this one.

Well made Mueller Thurgau wines fit exactly into these days: they are fruity, with only slight acids, digestable and aromatic. They not only accompany meals in an excellent way, these wines make fun and give you a good feeling.

In order to honour Mueller Thurgau in the way we think it deserves it, we have organised the International Mueller Thurgau Competition for the forth time this year.

An independent jury composed of oenologists, wine journalists, sommeliers, wine makers und wine merchants has tasted and evaluated five categories of Mueller Thurgau wines within a blind tasting in June 2008 in Hagnau at the Lake Constance (Germany).
261 wine samples from Germany, Austria and Switzerland have been submitted. The 1st of July 2008, a festivity in the New Castle of Meersburg at the Lake Constance (Germany) took place in order to honour the winners.
The pictures show some impressions of this event.

Many thanks to all, which participated in the competition!

The partners of our tasting event: The wine publications Selection, Vinum, Wein-Gourmet, Weinwirtschaft, the Allgemeine Hotel-und Gaststättenzeitung, the Schwäbische Zeitung and Südkurier.

Organizer: BodenseeWein e.V.

With friendly support of Wein-Plus.
