This is what good wine from the Rivaner grape tastes like

Good wines from Rivaner – better known as Müller-Thurgau – combine a sultry, spicy nose with a fresh taste. They have a soft aroma of green fruit and citrus, often with hints of peach and Muscat. They are light, pleasantly fresh, and easy to drink.

Actually, the name Rivaner is based on the misunderstanding that it is the result of a cross between Riesling and Silvaner. That is not true at all! In 1882, Herman Müller from the Swiss canton of Thurgau crossed Riesling with Gutedel. Rivaner is therefore better known as Müller-thurgau.
