Tessa Maria Sprenger Müller-Thurgau Haidegrün 2024 white

Tessa Maria Sprenger Müller-Thurgau Haidegrün 2024 is a fresh, aromatic white wine from Baden that shows just how characterful this often-underrated grape can be. Sourced from the Haidegrün site, it balances charming fruit with a precise, mineral edge, making it as thoughtful as it is easy to enjoy. This bottling highlights the new wave of German winemakers who are reinterpreting classic varieties with a lighter touch and a focus on terroir expression.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2024 Haidegrün Müller-Thurgau is pale straw with green reflections, signaling its youth and vibrancy. The nose is delicately expressive, offering notes of white blossom, elderflower, green pear and crisp apple, lifted by hints of citrus zest and a gentle herbal twist. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied, very clean and precise, with juicy orchard fruit, lemon and a subtle grapey charm that is typical of Müller-Thurgau when handled carefully. A fine, refreshing acidity and a touch of minerality give structure and length, keeping the wine mouthwatering rather than sweet or heavy. This is a wine designed for drinking in its youth, ideally within the first 2–3 years after the vintage, while its floral aromatics and lively fruit are at their peak.

Production
The Haidegrün site in Baden benefits from a cool continental climate tempered by warm summer days, with well-drained soils that help concentrate flavor while preserving freshness—ideal conditions for Müller-Thurgau. Grapes are typically picked relatively early and by hand to ensure optimal ripeness and preserve delicate aromatics. In the cellar, the focus is on a gentle, low-intervention approach: careful pressing, cool fermentation—most likely in stainless steel tanks—to capture purity of fruit, and maturation on fine lees for a short period to add texture without masking the wine’s bright, floral character. Oak, if used at all, plays little to no role, keeping the style crisp and transparent.

Food & Serving
This Müller-Thurgau is a versatile food partner, especially well-suited to light, fragrant dishes. Think fresh goat cheese, soft-rind cheeses, simple seafood (grilled prawns, steamed mussels), sushi, summer salads with citrus or herbs, and lightly spiced Asian cuisine such as Vietnamese or Thai. It also works beautifully as an aperitif on its own. Serve well-chilled at around 8–10°C to emphasize its aromatic lift and brisk acidity. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour, allowing a few minutes in the glass for the aromas to open up.
