Müller Thurgau is a white grape variety obtained in 1882 by the Swiss oenologist Hermann Müller, originally from Thurgau (hence the name), who worked on studies of genetic improvement of the vine at the German institute of Geisenheim. Until a few years ago it was believed that the starting vines were Riesling and Sylvaner, but according to recent DNA studies, the second vine would be Chasselas, one of the most important white grape varieties grown in Switzerland.
