Müller-Thurgau
Müller-Thurgau is actually a cross between Riesling with Madeleine Royale, created at the Geisenheim Grape Breeding Institute in 1882. Today it is the second most planted grape in Germany, and while often associated with lower quality and mass produced wines, a new wave of young vintners in Germany are making low-yield wines which are thoughtful (and delicious) expressions of the grape.
