2021 Stefan Vetter Muller-Thurgau

$28.00

Vetter is punk f'ing rock--and his Muller's make a good argument that this variety in the right hands and farmed with care can make outside bangers. The nose is redolent of chevril, sponti ferment, and chalk dust. Producer Description:
Vetter’s 2021 Müller-Thurgau is, like the Sylvaner, ultra-fresh and lithe. The wine glows with a bright, detailed and complex fresh-sour citrus. It’s a bit more mineral-water-like than the Sylvaner – not in a dilute way but in a very refreshing easy-drinking way.
Vetter’s technique is worth noting, as it’s unique. The basic Müller-Thurgau is sourced from younger vines around the terraced vineyard. The grapes are whole-cluster pressed without any maceration or crushing and put directly into old/neutral barrels. The wine is topped up while in barrel, but not sulfured. The wines are normally racked only once and then bottled unfined and unfiltered with lower SO2.
None other than the New York Times’ Eric Asimov wrote about one of Stefan Vetter’s wines as a “most memorable bottle of 2018.”
