Description
What kind of wine it is
Muller Thurgau Alois Lageder is a still white wine grown in Alto Adige in the typical geographical indication area of Vigneti delle Dolomiti. It displays a pale straw yellow colour with greenish highlights, offering fruity aromas of apple and apricot, floral notes and hints of nutmeg. On the palate, it is dry, with a slender and elegant body and a dense texture that leads to a lively finish with almond nuances. Thanks to its freshness, it is ideal as an elegant aperitif and pairs perfectly with vegetarian dishes, salads, shellfish and freshwater fish.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from selected vineyards in Val d’Isarco, located in a high-altitude area between Bressanone and Chiusa. This territory is characterised by a cool climate and altitudes ranging from 500 to 920 metres, conditions that ensure excellent acidity and expressive clarity. The soils are rich in pebbles, sand and schist, with a valuable presence of volcanic slate that gives the wine pronounced freshness and aromatic precision. In this context, the cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royale finds the ideal environment to express its best qualities.
How it is produced
The estate operates according to the strict principles of Demeter biodynamic agriculture, cultivating the family vineyards without the use of herbicides or synthetic chemicals. Vinification involves fermentation at a controlled temperature and subsequent ageing on the fine lees in steel for about four months, with no wood ageing to preserve the fruit’s fragrance. Suitable for a vegan diet, the wine is offered unfiltered, a choice that keeps the palate’s density intact and ensures a pleasantly authentic and vibrant sip.
History and Curiosities
Born from the intuition of Hermann Müller by crossing Riesling and Madeleine Royale, this grape variety finds its ideal vocation in the cool climate of the Isarco Valley. Grown at altitudes of up to 920 metres, it thrives on soils characterised by volcanic slate, which defines its extraordinary aromatic precision. Alois Lageder masterfully interprets it through rigorous biodynamic practices, enhancing its pure natural essence. The brief maturation in steel and the absence of filtration preserve its density on the palate and a pleasantly fresh sip.
