WINE DESCRIPTION
The Alois Lageder Müller-Thurgau is a delightful white wine born from a happy accident. A cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royale, it thrives in the cool air and high elevation (over 700 meters) of the Valle Isarco in Italy.
Gravelly and schist soils, influenced by the Alpine microclimate, contribute to the slow ripening of the grapes, resulting in a crisp and refreshing wine. Alois Lageder crafts this gem using meticulously selected grapes from exceptional vineyards. Gentle pressing and controlled-temperature fermentation preserve the vibrant citrus and stone fruit flavors. This elegant white wine, with its impeccable craftsmanship, is a true testament to Alois Lageder's dedication to quality.
