About the Winery
Matthias Hager
The Hager Matthias winery is located in the small village of Mollands in the Kamptal area of Lower Austria. Matthias took over the 12-hectare land and the family business at an early age. He aims to produce the best quality wine possible and to focus on being in balance with nature. The lands are cultivated according to biodynamic principles and are certified Demeter. Matthias has a vast knowledge about plants and insects, and about keeping the flora and fauna in harmony with the vines. Matthias Hager is one of the most experimental winemakers in the Kamptal region, Austria. He understood early how to work with different soil types from loess to clay. He established different product lines to highlight these differences: the blue one representing fresh, lively wines including Grüner Veltliner and Sauvignon Blanc; and the brown line gravitating towards more earthy, flavourful produce and the red line stands for no sulphites!

Juicy and extremely forthright for grüner veltliner with aromatic volume, a push of buzz, kinetic energy and acidity, finishing on a string with strong mocker flavours. Nothing subtle or understated here but more so a signature Austrian white that states its business, claims its territory and delivers waves of toothsome varietal style. Stands up to be noticed, and counted! Drink 2024-2027. Tasted October 2024.

This is quite stylish, leaner and elegant - not as forward as many. There is also a more leesy note, with less obvious fruit. The honeyed, bready and peach notes remind me of pinot gris. It is light to medium bodied, quite firm, linear and very long on the finish. Some minerality here. Tasted October 2024

Demeter-certified biodynamic, open and lively, energetic and vibrant, this is indeed one of the more lively grüner veltliners from the '23 vintage that I've tasted so far, also clean but with lees flavour lingering, supressing the exuberant citrus fruit. I love the balanced-crunchy acids and the high intensity and density flavours. Long, open and honest finish. Well done I have to say, ready to enjoy, but no rush. Tasted October 2024.

About the Winery
Punset
While the vineyards that form Punset have been farmed by the Marcarino family for generations, it is truly thanks to Marina and her incredible energy that the estate is how it is nowadays. In the 1980s, she decided to pursue organic farming – a demanding choice that was rewarded by becoming the first estate to receive the organic certification in Italy. Her passion for the soil and the environment led her to embrace biodynamics and the agronomic philosophy of Manasobu Fukuoka. From one of the healthiest vineyards in Italy, Marina crafts wines that brim with life, energy, and pure terroir.
Known for the very first certified organic Barbaresco of Italy, Marina continues to show the world that you can preserve tradition and think of the future simultaneously.

Mainly dolcetto (70 per cent) with barbera and nebbiolo. Not much of the latter but necessary to widen the expression of the Langhe. Here it’s an explanation point, not a question, as in a confirmation of the exclamatory Piedmontese expression. Bright red amalgamated fruit with proper acidity and the ability to work alongside anyone and all. Drink 2019-2022. Tasted November 2019.

Deep gold, pungent, punchy. A fickle nose that catches a flicker of Roman drains one moment and then floods the two feet above the glass with orange blossom and quince. So salty your mouth will pucker and then you get the sweetness and citrus oils and herbal bite. It's twists and twists of clementine peel and tangerine and sweet lime. It's oregano and kumquat, pink salt and sour cream. It's punky, silk-and-handcuffs, addictive. Jure Štekar's wines get more and more beautiful every year.
