Lieblich

October 19, 2021

Semi-sweet. The term used to describe German wines with discernible sweetness. Lieblich wines therefore are those that taste sweeter than HALBTROCKEN (half dry). They can have up to 4.5% residual sugar (45 grams per liter).

“We entered the wine industry when there were no wine magazines, no wine critics, no 100-point scale—all 23 of us vintners in the Napa Valley in the 1960s. What we learned, we learned from the vineyard itself. Back then, it seemed like less was better.”

— Janet Trefethen (Trefethen Family Vineyards is 50 years old this year)
