MM

German sparkling wine house based in the town of Eltville in the Rheingau. Matheus Müller (1773-1847) acquired the Freiherrlich von Sohlern'schen Hof in Eltville in 1811 and founded his company as a winery and wine commission business. After his sons Matheus Müller Jr. and Friedrich Franz had learnt the art of champagne production in France, he was one of the first on the Rhine to start producing sparkling wine in 1837.

Sektkellerei Matheus Müller (MM) in Eltville

Müller's sparkling wine (known as "Sect" at the time) quickly earned high acclaim and over 300,000 bottles were sold as early as 1845. In 1890, the "Müller Extra" brand was created, from which the "MM-Extra" developed at the beginning of the 19th century, which is still produced today. In 1984, the company was sold to the spirits multinational Seagram and finally acquired by the German sparkling wine multinational Rotkäppchen-Mumm in 2001.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
