Feldmarschall von Fenner Müller-Thurgau Alto Adige DOC bottle image

Wine Description

This beautifully crafted wine is made from 100% Müller-Thurgau. The vineyards sit on the high plateau of Fennberg, protected from the northerly winds and ripened in a unique microclimate. At an elevation of 3,300 feet above sea level, these are among the highest Müller-Thurgau vineyards in Europe. The wine is named after Franz Philipp Freiherr von Fenner zu Fennberg, founder of the Austrian Kaiserjäger (soldiers of the Austrian emperor), who once used this picturesque Hofstatt as a summer residence.

Tiefenbrunner Family, Grandma Hilde, Anna, Johannes, Sabine and Christof

“Made from sky-high vineyards situated at 3,280 feet above sea-level, this radiant white opens with enticing scents of white spring flower, yellow stone fruit, alpine herb and mountain hay. The medium-bodied palate is full of flavor and finesse, delivering ripe yellow peach, apricot and a dollop of vanilla. A hazelnut note lingers on the finish alongside crisp acidity and saline mineral notes.” – (Cellar Selection)
— Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2021

“Vibrant acidity and a minerally underpinning frame finely-meshed flavors of melon, star fruit, lemon curd and salted almond in this light- to medium-bodied white. There's a subtle, pleasing plushness to the texture, yet this is svelte and elegant overall, with a zesty edge running through and lingering on the finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Dec 2021
