Winery Review: "Leibfraumilch 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 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 Review: The body of this wine is very light yellow-green in color but easily permeates through light. This wine has very little aromas on the nose, which was a bit disappointing. On the palate it was very light, refreshing and clean, which allows for easy summer drinking. However, I couldn't detect any recognizable tastes or characterisics that elevate or bring uniqueness to this wine. I may try this wine again if I'm looking for a simple, light wine.
