Liebfrauenstift-Kirchenstück

Historical single vineyard in Worms (Wonnegau area) in the German wine-growing region of Rheinhessen. The famous vineyard was once part of the ecclesiastical property of the Capuchin monastery Liebfrauen-Stiftskirche. In the course of Napoleonic secularisation, the vineyards were bought by wine merchant Peter Joseph Valckenberg (1764-1837) in 1808 and are still partly owned by his descendants of the Liebfrauenstift vineyard. The famous Liebfrauenmilch wine originally produced came from the historic nine-hectare section. The wine from the core part has a smoky flavour, which comes from the wooden house rubble from the Palatinate War of Succession (1688-1697). At that time, the rubble from the town was deposited around the Church of Our Lady and vineyards were planted on it. Around 1900, it was considered one of the best in Europe and was consumed at the British royal court, among others.
