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 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:
It smelled very sweet. It has a slight hint of berries in the smell as well. It was a very subtle wine. It was not very bold, but that didn’t matter because the softness was what made the wine very nice. It has a slightly spicy finish. I liked this wine. It was very sweet.
