LUKAS SCHMIDT Meisterschluck® No.5 | Silvaner white wine | 1 of 3 Black Label | 3000ml double magnum bottle | Pre-sale

Only the healthiest and most fully ripe grapes are able to give our wines the noble, unmistakable character that we strive for. With the utmost precision and dedication, we harvest only completely healthy grapes - each one carefully selected by hand with razor-sharp scissors. Our team makes sure that only the most flawless berries make it into the harvest box.

Our dedication continues in the wine cellar: the grapes are processed carefully and precisely in order to optimally bring out the unique fruit and minerality that our vines, with their deep root system, transport into each berry. Using the latest technology, the hand-picked grapes are gently separated from their stalks, while leaves and stems are sorted out. This detailed process ensures the quality of our harvest and enables us to create wines of exceptional purity and elegance. In this way, we create wines that reflect the best of our vines with unmistakable LUKAS SCHMIDT character and noble sophistication.

We have been dedicated to winemaking with dedication and passion for almost 400 years. For us, wine is the most precious pleasure that can be experienced in a unique way with all five senses. In our vineyards, we cultivate grape varieties with an incomparably fruity aroma, whose berry skins contain an impressive potential for aromas.

During processing, we place great emphasis on care and sensitivity in order to preserve the valuable aromas. Our Scheurebe grapes in particular, which are known for their intense fruity scent, are subjected to a maceration lasting several days after a second selection in the cellar. Here we use a process that requires a great deal of expertise and sensitivity: natural cold maceration. With this method, we are able to carefully transfer the essential aromas and minerals from the grape skins into the juice. At the end of this complex process, a golden yellow, highly aromatic grape juice of the highest purity is produced.

An unmistakable harmony of refreshing fruitiness and full-bodied spiciness.

Our passion for valuable enjoyment and pure joie de vivre connects us deeply with the people who enjoy our wines. Every moment we create with wine is a unique moment that grounds us and allows us to consciously experience life in the here and now. We are convinced that wine does not always have to be complicated - sometimes it should just taste good and bring joy.

In the vineyard, we place particular emphasis on quality. The number of grapes that a vine can bear has a significant influence on the character of the wine. At LUKAS SCHMIDT, we deliberately reduce our yield by more than 30%. At first glance, this may seem like a disadvantage, but the smaller number of grapes ensures that each fruit is supplied with more flavor and minerals.

This concentrated energy of our vines allows the grapes to ripen earlier and to be harvested at full maturity even under demanding weather conditions. The result is grapes that are particularly tasty and allow us to create wines that are full of flavor despite a comparatively low alcohol content.
