Tasting- Peter Mertes

 
Name: Peter Mertes Liebfraumilch Rheinhessen Qualitatswein
Region: ????
Country: Germany
Year: 2009
Price: $5.95
Shop: Vintage Cellar
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.
Review: The wine smells like cookies! There is also a hint of citrus, pear and canned cherries. The taste was similar to maraschino cherries (like the smell), and a slight acid aftertaste. This was the only one I liked.
