Information about the competition in 2010

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 fifth 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 2010 in Hagnau at the Lake Constance (Germany).
The 6th of July 2010, a festivity in the New Castle of Meersburg at the Lake Constance (Germany) took place in order to honour the winners.

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.
