Liebfraumilch - Weingut Hammel

Liebfraumilch - Weingut HammelThe Liebfraumilch of Hammel & Cie from Kirchheim in the Palatinate shines delicate yellow in the glass. On the nose, an elegant interplay of floral and fruity primary aromas of the grapes of this beautiful cuvée unfolds. Ripe yellow fruits such as apples and honeydew melon, but also mirabelle and apricot come to mind. On the palate, Christoph Hammel's Liebfraumilch presents itself wonderfully fresh and fruity-aromatic. This wine is quite light over semi-dry, soft and flattering, full-bodied, with a long, elegant and refreshing finish. Vinification of the Liebfraumilch from Hammel & Cie For this very appealing white wine cuvée by Christoph Hammel, the grape varieties Kerner, Silvaner, Scheurebe and Rivaner were pressed together and aged in stainless steel tanks. It is not so long ago, at the beginning of the 20th century, Liebfraumilch was considered one of the best wines in Europe. At the court of Queen Victoria of England, this German wine was extremely popular and appreciated thanks to its fruitiness, elegance, freshness and light-hearted aroma, at the same time not quite dry, but far from sweet. An icon of German wine history. After the wine Liebfraumilch had fallen into disrepute due to rampant mass production, a few years ago winemakers like Christoph Hammel decided to revive this quintessential Palatinate wine. Today, this wonderfully delicate Liebfraumilch from the Palatinate presents itself in a new guise and with a twinkle in its eye. A graceful label and the slender mallet bottle invite you to enjoy it with pleasure! Food recommendation for the Hammel Liebfraumilch This white wine cuvée is a perfect companion in social gatherings, for nibbling and many nice occasions.
