Description

The Fritz Müller story began in 2009 with the idea to breathe new life into a traditional German grape variety which had been pushed out of the public eye: Müller-Thurgau. Fritz Müller is a joint effort project between Guido Walter and Jürgen Hofmann. Guido Walter came up with the initial idea behind Fritz, because when he and his friends would celebrate, they would yearn for such a wine. Jürgen Hofmann from Appenheim in the Rheinhessen wine region is not only a small, friendly winemaker; he is also a big star. In 2010, with three grapes in the respected “Gault Millau” Wine Guide, they proclaimed him a rising star of his craft. The fact that his wines are so good is due above all to the fun he receives from what he does.

Delightfully fun and refreshing, this perlwein, or lightly sparkling white, is Germany s answer to Italian prosecco. Made from Müller-Thurgau grapes, it s gorgeously floral, but with a chalky, earthen tang. Sprightly acidity and a fresh, green touch lends vibrance to a moderately long finish. ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA
