Organic, Biodynamic & Natural

Fruity & Spicy

Matthias Hager's winery has about 13ha of vineyards in and around the small wine-growing village of Mollands. All of his vineyards are cultivated biodynamically according to Demeter. The strength of this family business is its diversity. Loess, clay and different kinds of primary rock (mica shist, gneiss, etc.) can be found in the northern part of Kamptal.

This Gruner Veltliner has fruity aromas on the nose. These aromas combine with a soft spiciness and a mineral quality on the palate. It has a medium body and a nice long saline finish.

This a typical Gruner Veltliner of the Kamptal region and a very food-friendly wine. It's a great match with cold starters and typical Austrian home cooking: roast pork, schnitzel, meat dumplings...

They are proud to produce natural wines of high quality. This mixed case includes 6 bottles of Nicot Blanc and 6 bottles of Nicot Rouge.

Nicot Rouge 2018. Blend of Grenache and Syrah, coming from a north-facing plot called Poujol and an east-facing terroir called Saules. The wine is aged in concrete tanks and ferments with indigenous yeasts. It's a soft and delicate red on the nose, with some subtle veggie notes and red fruity aromas, with a hint of rusticity. On the palate, the acidity is on point with tannins that are velvety and soft. Perfect to be enjoyed on it's on or with tapas.
