Reviews:
"Leibfraumilch is a soft, delicate wine of the Rheinhessen and Palatinate districts. The original wine was named after the Leibfraumilch monastery in Worms, where the monks were the first wine growers and produced an unusually pleasing wine. Wines of the Rheinhessen and Palatinate are noted for their aroma, wellbalanced harmony, and fragrance.  Leibfraumilch, as all excellent white wines is best served chilled. We suggest serving with cold entrees, as well as poultry, such as chicken or turkey, or even with a mild Cheddar, mellow and slightly nutty with a medium consistency."
-- Notes from the Vintage Cellar

My review: 
Golden in color. Very fruity, sweet aroma. Has a nice fruity flavor, medium-bodied and very sweet. This tastes like a sweet dessert wine. This was a little too sweet though, so I could only drink about a glass of this at a time. I wouldn't really be able to drink any more than that since it tastes a little sugary like grape juice. Still a pretty nice sweet wine that was very enjoyable relaxing with friends on a warm spring evening.
