Madonna Liebfraumilch Riesling 750ml Chenin Blanc and raisin on a beguilingDid you know there was originally only one brand of Liebfraumilch?! In 1808, Peter Joseph Valckenberg bought the majority of the vineyards that surrounded the famous Liebfrauenkirche in Worms, Germany. This church was a stop on the Campostela pilgrimage trail; Christians would visit the historic statue of Madonna in the vineyards to receive a blessing. The wine the monks produced here was popular and nicknamed Liebfraumilch (the Milk of Madonna).
