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.
