Rivaner

Because Professor Hermann Müller (1850 - 1927), from the Swiss canton of Thurgau, did not want his promising white grape crossing to be named after him in his homeland too, the grape known here as Müller-Thurgau is also called Rivaner. The name combines its presumed parents, Riesling and Silvaner. Unfortunately, Mr Müller did not remember precisely whom he had married the delicate Riesling lady to. In 1998, scientists at the Federal Institute for Breeding Research in Siebeldingen in the Palatinate established that Madeleine Royale was the father. The vine will nevertheless not be renamed. Müller-Thurgau is planted in almost all German wine regions. This fresh white is also found in Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, France and the Czech Republic. The early-ripening variety makes relatively modest demands on climate and soil and is regarded as reliably productive. It is usually matured in stainless steel tanks. With a suitable site and appropriate yield targets, it produces uncomplicated, fresh, delicately fruity wines with a light Muscat note. Müller-Thurgau generally does not have ageing potential and tastes best fresh or in the first few years after harvest. Pale to light yellow in colour, medium-bodied and low in acidity, it is mild yet fruity: an excellent wine for beginners too.

A juicy, classic everyday wine with apple aromas and invigorating freshness.

Weingut Hemer

The Hemer family has been growing vines for four generations in Abenheim in Rheinhessen, not far from historic Worms. After several years of experience with integrated cultivation, they decided in 2004 to work consistently with nature and convert the estate to organic farming. The Hemer family comprises siblings Stefan, Gaby and Andreas, together with their father Hans and mother Adele. The wines have been fully organically certified since 2006, and the estate is an active member of Ecovin, the federal association for organic viticulture. The family's philosophy is infectious: above all, their wines should be enjoyable, and to achieve that they must taste good.
