Fabian Schmidt

Fabian Schmidt is the new tenant of the Frankfurt-owned winery located near Hochheim. After a 30-year hiatus, Schmidt is reopening the winery's Gutsausschank (wine tavern). The winery, which has been described as resembling a 'sleeping beauty castle,' and its wine, which has a 'mediocre reputation,' are both areas Schmidt intends to improve. He views the location, with its views of vineyards and the Main River, as a 'magical place.' This reopening marks a significant development for the winery and the Hochheim region, as Schmidt aims to revitalize the estate and enhance the quality and perception of its wine. His efforts are newsworthy due to the long period of inactivity at the winery and the potential for Schmidt to bring renewed attention and success to the Frankfurt-owned vineyard.
