Liebfraumilch is a historic German style of white wine whose name comes from the Liebfrauenkirche (“Church of Our Lady”) in Worms and has become synonymous with medium-sweet white wines from regions including Rheinhessen. Peter Mertes, one of Germany’s largest wine producers, offers this classic expression with an emphasis on lightness, fruitiness, and easy approachability.
