Closed in a screw-cap bottle, the 2020 Alto Adige Müller Thurgau Feldmarschall Von Fenner starts off with some reduction that is quite apparent at this young age, but it should nonetheless carry the wine forward to evolve slowly and with care. These are characteristics I notice each year that I taste new vintages of this wine. Buried below are floral notes, yellow rose, mature peach and honeydew melon. This wine finishes with citrusy crispness. Winemaking sees both cement and oak botte. This is a 12,000-bottle release.

Each year I taste this wine, I gain a greater understanding of its distinct style and personality. The 2017 Alto Adige Müller Thurgau Feldmarschall Von Fenner is one of those wines that wins you over slowly, very slowly. In the past, I have been aware of the reductive winemaking approach, but this hot vintage expression is raring to go from the minute the wine pours into the glass. Dried lemon peel, green melon and crushed almond all come into view. The wine makes a sturdy impression in terms of mouthfeel with ample and round contours. Serve it with a wild herb risotto. Vines come from a site located a whopping 1,000 meters above sea level and the farming challenges mean that two to four passes are made before harvest is complete. Some 13,000 bottles were made.

Made in a noticeably reductive style, the 2016 Alto Adige Müller Thurgau Feldmarschall Von Fenner (with a screwcap closure) needs a few extra minutes to open in the glass. You get matchstick and brimstone on the first nose. Patience is required before you reach the stone fruit, sweet almond and preserved lemon. In the past, I thought that reduction might be an oversight, but now that I have tasted this wine consistently over these past years, I see that it is indeed intentional. This is a mid-weight effort with good freshness and tonic acidity. Grapes are harvested at 1,000 meters above sea level in the mountains, and the conditions are so extreme, harvest is executed in four different phases in order to ensure even ripening across the board. Some 13,000 bottles were made.

Packaged in a screw cap bottle, the 2015 Alto Adige Müller Thurgau Feldmarschall Von Fenner is a crystal clear and translucent wine that captures the ambient light with brilliance. I noticed a touch of reduction that does not fully blow off. I had the same impression with the 2013 vintage. There is vibrant fruit below with peach and cantaloupe melon, but it takes a while before the wine begins to show its aromatic purity. Grapes are picked from a soaring vineyard site located 1,000 meters above sea level.

Feldmarschall is a delicately fragrant white wine with soapy aromas of white flower, honeysuckle and passion fruit. There’s a touch of natural rubber as well and the mouthfeel is dense and rich in glycerin.——M.L.(3/1/2012)—— 87
