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.

#mullerthurgau and #riesling blend from #rheinheissen ; slight minerality, pear and apple notes, honeyed notes; juicy acidity fleshes out into sweet apple, syrupy peach. Delicious semi-sweet wine for spicy South Indian lentil crepes and dal stew (Dosa + Sambar.) Excellent QPR for $6.50 at Total Wine.

Not one of my personal favorites. Wish it was a bit sweeter.

Sep 14th, 2017The 2nd day completely changed my mind. Opened up nicely, and felt more unified on the tongue. Fruity (pear and apricots), but sweetness is not overbearing. At this price, will definitely pick up more for the hot summer days that are around the corner.
