Winery Review: The vines of Rheinhessen Germany flourish in the warm, sunny mineral enriched soils. Proud of his heritage, Escher grew his grapes to match; slightly sweet with a bright character. Ripe fruit flavors and aromas of peaches and pears round out this traditional German Liebraumilch.

My Review: On the nose, this "Beloved Mother's Milk" smelled deliciously sweet, like a riesling, and somewhat fruity. The first sip was fizzy and light, tasting like flowers yet tart. The midpalate was sweet and fruity, and the aftertaste was very refreshing. This wine paired well with the colby jack cheese.
