Muller Thurgau - Kellerei St. Pauls
Muller Thurgau - Kellerei St. Pauls
This aromatic white grape variety finds its ideal environment in the medium-high hills of Alto Adige. It owes its name to the Swiss winemaker Hermann Müller Thurgau who created it at the end of the 19th century by crossing Rhine Riesling and Madeleine Royale. Muller appears straw yellow with clear greenish reflections. On the nose it is intense, aromatic and typical, with notes of peach and nutmeg. In the mouth its aromaticity returns with notes of hay, nutmeg, yellow pulp fruit. Overall balanced, structured, mineral and with a savory finish.
St. Pauls Winery
In the heart of the municipality of Appiano, a few kilometers from Bolzano, lies the town of San Paolo. Since the end of the 19th century, wine was sold by private winemakers both on the national and foreign markets, even as far as Moscow and St. Petersburg. Around 1900, the winemakers decided to join together in cooperatives, so as to be able to participate directly, and under better conditions, in the production and harvesting of the grapes. In 1907, the cooperative "Cantina Produttori San Paolo" was founded: 36 winemakers from San Paolo, Missiano, Monte and Riva di Sotto who participated in the founding assembly. Until 1908, the grapes from the harvest were collected in the private cellars of the town. In 1914, the cellars were equipped with modern equipment and in 1920 a Saurer brand truck was purchased, one of the first. In 1968, a fully automatic bottling plant was purchased, while in 1974 a sales point was set up in the courtyard area. In 1979/1980, a large warehouse was built in the northern area, simultaneously starting a modernization process, in line with technological processes.
