For the last 15 years he has been producing terroir-driven wines from native varietals on his 14 hectares of vineyards from around his hometown of Mollands. Matthias has been Biodynamic certified from Demeter since 2005.

truly one of the shop's favorite winemakers, as we often have 3-4 diff cuvees in stock from hager.

This bottling made exclusively with clusters of the variety Zweigelt which was found in Austria by Dr. Zweigelt in 1922. 20 year old vines grow on clay/loam soil in Kamptal, lower Austria at about 350m elevation. The harvest is rather early because healthy grapes are very important for a good red and rosé wine.

darker in color but still totally dry and refreshing, another winner from one of our favorite winemakers. juicy watermelon, black cherry, raspberry, pomegranate seeds, has the acid-driven spine of a white wine.
