Schmitt Sohne
Over 200 years ago the Schmitt ancestors settled in the small village of Longuich, located along the Mosel River, and began managing vineyards and producing wine. In 1919, Hilar Schmitt, the great-grandfather of today’s owners, founded the company as a small regional winery. In 1934 Peter Vitalis Schmitt expanded his father’s business and distributed the wines throughout Germany. In 1953 Gerd Schmitt began selling German wines in Europe and laid the groundwork for their biggest market in the USA.
