Hans Schiller – Liebfraumilch 2023
Rheinhessen – Germany 🇩🇪

Overview
Blend: A classic Liebfraumilch, a typical blend of Müller-Thurgau, Silvaner, and Riesling as more dominant base, which offers a bit more structure and lift. An easy sipper from Rheinhessen, Germany’s largest wine region.

Aromas & Flavors
Light, easy-drinking, and approachable. Gentle notes of orchard fruits like apple and pear mix with a touch of citrus and white peach. A hint of floral perfume gives it charm. The sweetness is soft, balanced by mild acidity, making it smooth and pleasant from start to finish.

Mouthfeel
Off-dry, round, and refreshing on the palate with a silky texture. Low alcohol keeps it very approachable, with a delicate finish.

Food Pairing
Best with light fare: spicy Asian dishes, mild cheeses, fresh fruit plates, or simply as an aperitif for casual sipping.

Verdict
A classic everyday German white—easy, sweet-leaning, and meant for uncomplicated enjoyment. Not about depth, but about pure drinkability and charm. Cheers!

Did you know?
“Liebfraumilch” translates to “Beloved Lady’s Milk,” a historic reference to the Virgin Mary and the vineyard around the Liebfrauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) in Worms, Germany. Once one of Germany’s most famous exports, it’s still widely enjoyed for its soft style. — 5 months ago

2022. Pretty German Pinot. Bit reductive. But opened nicely and sweet red fruit with a good balance. — 8 months ago

Nice old school Napa Cab. At this point it’s probably a few years past it’s prime and firmly in tertiary territory. Tobacco, wood notes, and still some black fruit. Past it’s prime but still very enjoyable. — 4 years ago

Expressive nose with black peppercorns, cloves, crushed rock, a hint of iron & blood, underneath all that - pure black fruit. Fresh, spicy, enticing.
Medium bodied on the palate with ripe, grippy tannins, juicy black fruit acidity and nice purity to the fruit. This has grip, good tension, quite some power and loads of character. Reminiscent of Northern Rhône.
Nice length, too! A brilliant Austrian red! — 4 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of blueberries, black plums, cherries, spices, light oak, diet cola, light bell pepper, chocolates, black pepper and herbs.

Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Very dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, dark chocolates, green vegetables, light earth, herbs and black tea.

Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a very tasty 9 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Lake County in California. Fruit forward and spicy.

Good right out of the bottle, and gets earthier and spicier as it opens up.

I had this vintage 5 years ago and it is drinking so much better now. Will not improve from this point on, so drink up.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

Kosher and Mevushal.
