Over 200 years ago my ancestors settled in the small village of Lonquich, located along the Mosel River in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wine region, and began their involvement in vineyard management and wine production.
In 1919 my Great Grandfather, Hilar Schmitt (1864-1934), founded our parent company as a small regional winery and set forth his philosophy of producing the best wines possible using only top quality grapes from each successive vintage.
Always mindful of my Great Grandfathers philosophy, our winery, which is still located in Longuich, has continued to grow and change through the guidance of three successive generations to become Schmitt Söhne, one of the largest and most successful German wine exporters today.
As in the past, we continue to keep our eye on the future and look for ways to incorporate new technology and techniques into the traditional production of German wines. My successors foresight enabled us to carefully incorporate growth, progress, and technical innovations into our long-standing tradition of producing first-class quality wines. The standards originally put forth by my Great Grandfather - to produce the best wines possible using only top quality grapes - have guided my ancestors throughout the winery's growth.
As the 4th generation family member and current President of Schmitt Söhne, I have adopted this philosophy for our company - "top quality grapes, skilful and meticulous production of wines, combined with comprehensible packaging and superior customer service forms the basis for a first class product".
Schmitt Söhne has evolved into a modern facility producing exceptional wines at affordable prices with sales and shipments all over the world. We have established our own import companies in several countries, including the United States of America, to allow for better customer service and to insure proper compliance and availability. We have increased production capabilities to meet the expected demands of the new century and have updated and expanded our computer network to efficiently handle all aspects of the winery, from quality control to customer service and shipments. This also includes the guidance of processes documented by DIN EN ISO 2001:2000 and HACCP, IFS International Food Standard (higher level) as well as BRC Global Standard Food (higher level).
I appreciate your interest in Schmitt Söhne and promise you that we will continue to do our part to supply you with the best German wines available. If you have any questions concerning our facility, the wines we produce, or just need additional information on German wines in general, Schmitt Söhne would be delighted to assist you.
