Müller Thurgau

A German cross developed for viticultural reliability, with high production potential. Now believed to be Riesling X Madeleine Royal (previously thought to be Riesling X Sylvaner). Has distinctively peachy aromas and large, rather thin-skinned berries that can be prone to rot. When yields are uncontrolled, produces dull flabby wines.
