A family
story

It was in 1905 that the first liters of wine were produced by Mr Grégoire Fritz.

In the 1950s, the Fritz estate was under the management of Mr René Fritz, who carried on the tradition and developed the vineyard. In 1993, the inheritance of the estate by his daughter Catherine Fritz and her husband Bernard Schmitt gave birth to the Fritz-Schmitt estate. Their children take turns joining the family estate. The blending of these personalities provides the special motivation to continue to develop authentic wines with character.
