Vintage Cellar 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, well-balanced harmony and fragrance. Leibfraumilch as all excellent white wines is best 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 was actually a very surprising experience to me when white wines are concerned. This one was not too sweet for me, but still felt light on my palate. There were hints of green apples and pears that were almost cancelled out by a slight oaky tone. This wine would, in my opinion, pair well with any type of fish or chicken.
I did not taste this wine with food.
