“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)

“Delicate aromas of lime, nutmeg and camomile. Rich and complex yet fresh and vibrant with floral green fruit and long plummy graceful finish; will develop further.” (Gold Medal) 

“Surprisingly rich: jasmine, green tea, nutmeg aromas. It will continue to develop beautifully in bottle, too.”

“A wonderful white with so much lime, mineral and green-papaya character. It’s full-bodied and layered with gorgeous fruit and flavors. Really tangy. Best Muller in the world! Goes on and on.”

“The 2018 Müller-Thurgau Feldmarschall von Fenner from Tiefenbrunner is luminous gold in color with green hues in the glass. Its bouquet is stunning and perfumed with lime citrus-infused yellow flowers, white smoke minerality, wild herbs, green apple and savory exotic spice. There’s a richness to its depths of textural white orchard fruits, perfectly offset by stimulating acidity and a cooling hint of mint leaf, as inner florals amass toward the close. Wow, there’s so much going on here, and yet this is still so youthfully poised. I can imagine that a few years in the cellar will really bring the Feldmarschall to life.”

“Showing extreme elegance, this fragrant, radiant wine opens with aromas of jasmine, white peach and aromatic herb. The linear palate delivers crisp Granny Smith apple, white stone fruit, sage, lemon drop and flinty mineral alongside zesty acidity that provides balance and energy.”

“Bright medium golden yellow. Initially reduced nose opens slowly with aeration to showcase apricot, apple and lime complicated by jasmine, spearmint and thyme. Then bright, dense and juicy, with tactile and rich honeyed tropical fruit and peach flavors. Finishes long with hints of botanical herbs and honey. A delightful wine, but reminds me less of the Müller-Thurgau than other past vintages, probably because of the warm year.”

“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.”

“This is Tiefenbrunner’s flagship wine, the fruit culled from a seven-acre vineyard that sits at 3,300 feet above sea level, where cool evening temperatures preserve fresh acidity in the grapes. Scents of gardenia waft from the glass, leading to flavors of white peach and golden apple infused with salinity. The flavors may not be long-lived, but the pleasure is in those intoxicating aromas of fresh orchard fruit.

“Packaged in a screw cap bottle, the 2015 Alto Adige Müller Thurgau Feldmarschall Von Fenner is a crystal clear and translucent wine that captures the ambient light with brilliance. I noticed a touch of reduction that does not fully blow off. I had the same impression with the 2013 vintage. There is vibrant fruit below with peach and cantaloupe melon, but it takes a while before the wine begins to show its aromatic purity. Grapes are picked from a soaring vineyard site located 1,000 meters above sea level.”

A touch overripe nose with tropical fruit and flavours of cooked fruits, fennel and cloves.

“A beginner might like … the intensity of the aromas. This wine stands at attention (sorry, couldn’t resist) with decidedly tropical-fruit tones and baking spice-like edges. For me, it reminded me of papayas very specifically. A wine obsessive might like … the way this wine’s finish comes together so completely. It’s nearly mouthwatering. To achieve this wine’s lovely texture, Tiefenbrunner relies on a mixture of stainless steel-tank and oak-barrel aging, for roughly eight months, followed by 10 additional months of bottle aging.”– four stars and 3/4 (out of five)
