Region Rheinhessen
Country Germany
Year 2009

Critic's Review Liebfraumilch is a soft, delicate wine of the Rheinhessen and Palatinate districts. The original wine was named after the Leibfraumilch monastery in Worms, where the monks were the first wine growers and produced an unusually pleasing wine. Wines of the Rheinhessen and Palatinate are noted for their aroma, well-balanced, harmony, and fragrance. Leibfraumilch, as all excellent white wines is best served chilled. We suggest serving with cold entrees, as well as poultry, such as chicken or turkey, or even with a mild cheddar, mellow and slightly nutty with a medium consistency.


My Thoughts This white is clean and crisp - very fragrant! It has a flowery component. This wine is sweet tasting.  There is an acidic component on the mid-palette masked by apple flavors - red, not green. 

This wine was not paired with any food.
