About Weingut Lohmühle
Weingut Lohmühle is a family-run winery in Groß-Umstadt, in the Umstadt district of the Hessische Bergstraße wine region. The estate takes its name from the 1728 building that originally served as a water mill grinding oak bark for the local tanning trade; vine growing on the site dates to around 1890. Today the estate is run in its fifth generation by Dagmar and Alexander Pfau, who have produced and bottled their own wines since 2008. Across roughly 3 hectares spread over the three Umstadt vineyard sites of Herrnberg, Stachelberg and Steingerück, they grow Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, Grauburgunder, Kerner, Portugieser, Dornfelder, Spätburgunder and Merlot, alongside Secco, juices and fruit brandies. Visitors can taste and buy wine directly at the estate and, in season, at its traditional Straußwirtschaft wine tavern.
