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!
