The Schmitt Söhne estate is located in the heart of the Moselle wine region in Germany. This family estate has evolved to become one of the most recognized wine companies in the country thanks to a winemaking tradition that dates back more than 230 years. Situated on the steep slopes of this valley, the estate offers an impressive visual spectacle, with its rows of meticulously maintained vineyards overlooking the Moselle River. The region's slate soil, cool climate, and steep slopes create unique growing conditions and allow for the production of exceptional wines, with an intense concentration of flavors. Over the centuries, the Schmitt Söhne Estate has earned a reputation for its exceptional Riesling wines, which are prized for their mineral clarity, sharp acidity, and layers of flavor reminiscent of citrus, green apple, pear, and sometimes notes of peach or apricot.

The estate is strongly committed to sustainable viticulture practices, minimizing the impact on the environment by using nature-friendly farming methods. The vineyard's vintners practice severe pruning to control yields and promote biological diversity to maintain a healthy and resilient vineyard.

The wines are primarily aged in large oak casks, giving them additional complexity. Visiting the Schmitt Söhne estate is an unforgettable experience.
