2024 Muller-Ruprecht Pfalz Orange

While the Chardonnay provides richness and a certain savory quality, the Huxelrebe is really showing its parentage with the aromatics of Muscat shining through. Orange blossom, mandarin orange, jasmine, and overripe mango make for a complex and enticing aroma. The acid is laser focused, almost prickly, and takes all of the delicate aromas and turns them to eleven, sharpening the fruit character and balancing the perfumed florality.

Despite releasing their first vintage in 2020, Müller-Ruprecht is already making waves in the Pfalz region of Germany. Started by Sabine Wöhrwag and her husband Philipp, they work vineyards that date back to the 1700s and have been in her family for generations.
