WTN: Kurtatsch MullerThurgau Sudtirol '20...(short/boring)

by TomHill » Tue Jul 30, 2024 12:49 pm

Cracked the new arrival last night:
1. Kurtatsch Muller-Thurgau DOC: Sudtirol/AltoAdige (12.5%; VineyardBrands) Cantina Kurtatsch/Kurtatsch/AltoAdige 2020: Light yellow color w/ light bubbles; fairly strong floral/carnations/marigolds lightly stony/earthy/loamy slight pineapple/plasticizer/vinyl garbage bucket somewhat attractive/interesting nose; lightly tart some flra/marigolds/carnations some earthy/loamy slight vinyl/plasticizer bit clunky/coarse/oafish flavor; med.long oafish finish that follows the flavor; a fairly typical AA MT a little on the oafish side & not the high-toned character of other AA whites; reminds a bit of a German MT; a pleasant enough AA white but just that. $20.00 (SFW&S)
______________________________
More mikkerlikker from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Originally thought to be a Sylvaner/Riesling cross, the DNA indicates it to be a Riesling/Madeleine Royale cross. I've had better M-T's from the AA, but this was pleasant, but just that.

For what it's worth I find MT from the Alto Adige much more interesting in the first year, it doesn't do well in the bottle.
