Winemaking
At LUKAS SCHMIDT Wein, we view sustainability not as a trend, but as a deeply rooted attitude. For 11 generations, our family has cultivated vineyards in the heart of Franconia with passion and dedication – and with each generation, our sense of responsibility for our environment, our fellow human beings, and our future grows.
All our vines are organically grown. This is not only a matter of course for us, but also an expression of our deep respect for nature, which nourishes and sustains us. We consistently avoid synthetic pesticides and instead promote stable ecosystems, vibrant soils, and healthy vines through natural plant protection, greening, and diverse biodiversity. Our vineyards are habitats—for plants, animals, and people. Therefore, we cultivate them with the utmost care and appreciation to preserve not only the quality of our wines but also the beauty of our landscape for future generations.

We live our values of respect, decency, and equality – with our employees, partners, and customers. Many of our business relationships have existed for decades because they are built not on short-term gains, but on trust and a shared commitment. This attitude permeates all our decisions: from winemaking to communications, from label selection to event planning. We believe in quiet luxury, in lived authenticity – and in the goodness of our beautiful planet.

more than 400 years
For almost 400 years, we have dedicated ourselves to viticulture with dedication and passion. For us, wine is the most precious pleasure, one that can be experienced in a unique way with all five senses. In our vineyards, we cultivate grape varieties with incomparably fruity aromas, whose berry skins harbor impressive aromatic potential.

#2
Awesome grape
Only the healthiest and most fully ripe grapes are capable of giving our wines the noble, unmistakable character we strive for. With the utmost precision and dedication, we harvest only perfectly healthy grapes—each one carefully selected by hand with razor-sharp scissors. Our team ensures that only the most flawless berries make it to the harvest box.

#3
high precision
Our dedication continues in the wine cellar: The grapes are processed with care and precision to optimally bring out the unique fruit and minerality that our vines, with their deep root systems, convey into every berry. Using state-of-the-art technology, the hand-picked grapes are gently separated from their stems, while leaves and stalks are removed. This meticulous approach ensures the quality of our harvest and allows us to create wines of exceptional purity and elegance. This is how we create wines that reflect the best of our vines with unmistakable LUKAS SCHMIDT character and noble refinement.

#4
High Taste
This concentrated energy of our vines allows the grapes to ripen earlier and be harvested at full ripeness, even under challenging weather conditions. The result is grapes with exceptional flavor, allowing us to create wines that are full of flavor despite their comparatively low alcohol content.
In the vineyard, we place particular emphasis on quality. The number of grapes a vine is allowed to bear significantly influences the character of the wine. At LUKAS SCHMIDT Luxury Wine, we deliberately reduce our yield by more than 50%. This smaller number of grapes ensures that each fruit is more intensively supplied with flavor and minerals.

Bullenheimer Paradise

Based in Bullenheim, Bavaria, the company enjoys a high level of trust throughout Germany for its innovative and flavorful wines.
The village of Bullenheim, with a population of 300, has been our home for 11 generations. Far from the epicenter of European viticulture, our ancestors have always had to courageously pursue major innovations. The Schmidt family has learned one thing: to forge their own path and believe in themselves.
