We have the impression that the
wines made by the Schmidt family
gain ever more luminosity, density
and finesse. Their style aims for precision and
finesse, everything is about proportion rather
than oomph. Cellar master Sebastian Schmidt,
with much sensitivity, knows how to get the
best out of his wines. The generations work together
at this estate. Sebastian and Maximilian
Schmidt take on more responsibilities,
supported by their parents Margret and Eugen.
A convincing and strong range of wines
that puts Lake Constance in the spotlight.
