In 1997 the MW-Mosel-Weinberg Aktiengesellschaft was founded by Mr. Adolf Schmitt, the (at that time) President of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Winegrowers’ Association and Mr. Heinrich W. Moritz, a business administration graduate. Their statutory business aim provides for the securing of Riesling-growing shale slopes, the ecologically responsible cultivation of these, and to make every effort to sustain the most prized inheritance of the “Moselle – Saar – Ruwer” viticulture. Furthermore, the company has made it its obligation in the issue of shares to demonstrate an exemplary dedication to the cultivation and preservation of one of the world’s most traditionally rich winegrowing landscapes.

We have made it our mission in the promotion of the image of the Riesling vine, the uncontested queen among vines, together with our mission to promote the region with its many-faceted cultural, natural and economic attractions as a tourist destination, and every bit as much of our duty.
