Tasting note
- Colour & appearance
- Pale straw yellow, clear and luminous in the glass — a wine that promises freshness even visually.
- Nose
- Subtle and crystal clear: young pear, yellow apple, accompanied by a fine hint of nutmeg and a delicate yeasty note that lends surprising depth to the restrained fruit.
- Palate
- Fresh and spicy, slender and unpretentious in the best possible sense. The bright fruit is carried along by a mineral streak and fine spice; at just 12.0% ABV, everything remains graceful and easy-drinking. No fuss — simply good.
- Finish
- Clean and invigorating, with an aftertaste of citrus freshness and fine spice that leaves the palate dry and ready for food.
- Terroir & origin
- From Maikammer in the Southern Palatinate, where calcareous marl and sandstone soils shape the style. The Haardt acts as a protective barrier against westerly winds, while the mild climate allows the grapes to ripen with optimal temperature variation.
- Grape variety & vinification
- A pure Müller-Thurgau, vinified dry. At Steffen Mugler’s estate, the wines are spontaneously fermented and left unfined — craftsmanship that grants even the entry-level wine vitality and character.
- Food recommendations
- The ideal wine for uncomplicated comfort food: asparagus with vinaigrette, Pfälzer Saumagen, goat’s cheese salad or a simple lemon risotto. Also a joy on its own on the terrace.
- Special features
- Since 2016, a dedicated Vinaturel collection with specially designed labels has been created together with Steffen Mugler. The Simply White proves that an entry-level wine need not be simplistic: restrained on the nose, stylistically assured — a Müller-Thurgau with more substance than one expects from the variety.
