Tasting- Peter Mertes Liebraumilch


Name: Peter Mertes
Variety:  Riesling
Region:  Rheinhessen and Palatinate
Country:  Germany
Year:  2009
Price:  $5.95
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 aroma, wellbalanced 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:  This wine smelled a little strange since it was served right after the Col Des Vents, so there was not a whole lot off the nose overall.  It had a nice, crisp grape taste and was slightly sweet and a little tart.  Not my favorite of the day, but still good.  My friend liked it a lot though, and even bough a bottle.

I tried this wine without food.
