Schmitt Söhne Piesporter Michelsberg Spätlese Riesling

For over 100 years, the Schmitt family has produced high quality Riesling along the banks of the Mosel River in Germany. With our fifth generation now working in our family-owned company, many of our decisions are still made at the dinner table.

In 1919, Hilar Schmitt, the great-grandfather of today’s owners, founded the company as a small regional winery, selling to local villages and towns near the family home in Longuich, Germany. Through the generations, the Schmitt family focused on producing Riesling, Germany’s premier grape, and expanded to importing award-winning wines across the globe.

Over five generations, their principle remains the same: crafting world-class Riesling reflective of the family quality and care from the first picking in the vineyard to your table.

Piesporter Michelsberg QbA is a beautifully fragrant, medium-bodied wine with upfront fruit that continues to develop on the palate. Made from Riesling and Müller-Thurgau grapes, hints of peaches and green apples are balanced perfectly with crisp acidity to provide a clean and fresh finish.
