WINE DESCRIPTION
Liebfrauenstift Dry Riesling is produced by Liebfrauenstift, an estate located in the centre of Worms, in the heart of the Rheinhessen region. In 1872, Peter Joseph Valckenberg was the first to export Liebfraumilch. The grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards around the Liebfrauenkirche, Worms. Wines are fermented in stainless steel temperature-controlled vats to retain varietal character and delicate aromatics. The wine is aged in neutral vessels prior to bottling.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Liebfrauenstift Dry Riesling shines in the glass with a pale straw color with green reflections.This wine displays vibrant aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime, along with hints of green apple and white flowers. Upon tasting, the mouthwatering acidity provides a lively and zesty mouthfeel. The flavors of citrus fruits continue to dominate, accompanied by subtle mineral notes that add complexity and elegance to the overall profile. The wine finishes dry, leaving an impression of slate-like minerality.

Region: Rheinhessen
Rheinhessen is Germany's largest wine region, located in the Rhine River Valley in the western part of the country. It is known for its diverse range of wines, from dry whites to sweet dessert wines. The region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the Roman Empire.
Rheinhessen has been producing wine since the Roman Empire, when it was known as the province of Germania Superior. The region was an important center of winemaking during the Middle Ages, and it was here that the first German wine laws were established. In the 19th century, the region experienced a period of decline due to the phylloxera epidemic, but it was revived in the 20th century with the introduction of new grape varieties and modern winemaking techniques. Today, Rheinhessen is one of the most dynamic wine regions in the world, with many winemakers adopting innovative approach to winemaking.CUSTOMER RATING
