Tiefenbrunner Feldmarschall von Fenner
Wine Description
The Müller-Thurgau "Feldmarschall von Fenner", which ripens at over 3,300 feet above sea-level, is unique in the whole of Europe. The grapes are grown on the high plateau of Fennberg, which is protected from the north wind and has a unique microclimate. 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 Hofstatt as a summer residence.
