The story

The story behind Wilhelm Leinen

Liebfraumilch is a German white wine category, not a single vineyard, and it is built on Riesling and its aromatic cousins grown in the Rheinhessen, Pfalz, Rheingau and Nahe regions. The style is gently off dry, low in alcohol, and made to be drunk young and cold. Zeller Schwarze Katz comes from the Mosel, where steep slate slopes give Riesling its cutting acidity and a lean, mineral frame.

Wilhelm Leinen bottles both in the straightforward, value driven tradition German exporters have used for generations. These are liter and magnum format wines meant for a table, not a cellar. We have carried them for years because customers ask for them by name, and because a chilled glass of either does exactly what it promises.

Buying guidance

Which Wilhelm Leinen is right for you?

The 750mL Liebfraumilch is $7.99 and the 1.5L is $14.99, which is the whole argument for buying the larger bottle. The Zeller Schwarze Katz 1.5L runs $16.99 and gives you Mosel Riesling character for a few dollars more. Nothing here is priced like a collectible, because nothing here is meant to be one. All three show as out of stock online, so call (631) 343-7200 before you drive over.

Good to know

Wilhelm Leinen questions, answered

What is Liebfraumilch, exactly?
Liebfraumilch is a German white wine category rather than a single vineyard or grape. It is typically a blend built around Riesling and other aromatic German varieties, made in a gently sweet, low alcohol style meant to be drunk young and well chilled.
Is Wilhelm Leinen sweet or dry?
The Liebfraumilch is off dry, which means you taste fruit and a little sweetness but not a dessert wine. The Zeller Schwarze Katz is a Mosel Riesling style and leans leaner and more acidic, though German Riesling at this price is rarely bone dry.
Where is Wilhelm Leinen wine made?
Wilhelm Leinen is a German wine label, and the bottles we stock are German in origin and style. We do not have verified details on the specific producer or village, so we describe them by category: Liebfraumilch and Mosel Riesling rather than claiming a single estate.
Can I get these delivered or pick them up?
Yes. We offer same day or next day delivery across Nassau and Suffolk, free local delivery over $250, and free curbside pickup at our Commack store. Wine ships only to states where it is legal, confirmed at checkout. All three bottles currently show out of stock, so call first.
What does Zeller Schwarze Katz mean?
It translates as the Black Cat of Zell, a Mosel town, and it is a traditional German wine name rather than a grape. The wine behind it is Riesling from the Mosel, a region known for slate soils and high acid whites.
