Red Müller-Thurgau

The grape variety is a colour mutation of Müller-Thurgau. It was found in 1978 by winemaker Christoph Süßle from Merdingen in the German growing region of Baden. From 2005 onwards, a variety trial was carried out in the field and subsequently an application for variety protection was filed in 2014.
