Carl Schmitt-Wagner Winery has a rich, unique history. Beginning in 1804, the Schmitt-Wagner family cultivated vineyards in the beautiful Mosel River village of Longuich, Germany. Thoughtful selections are made at harvest time by collecting only healthy, fully ripe grapes. In addition, the purity of Carl Schmitt-Wagner comes from nearly 6,000 ungrafted European vines, planted in 1896 , in the Maximiner Herrenberg vineyard.
