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.
The vines grows on the Mollandser site called Steinleithen. The soil there is very stony (Gneiss) which gives the wine its mineral quality. The vineyard is 40 years old and located in the southern part of Mollands with a beautiful view to Schoenberg – the next village in the valley of Kamptal – about 340m above sea level. This Gruner is skin fermented and aged in used oak barrels. It is an aromatic version of the varietal with sun ripe citrus, white pepper, stone and that classic Grüner minerality. Perfection!
Due to its complexity and intense aromas, it is well suited to hearty home cooking (schnitzel, roast pork, ...) as well as to vegetarian dishes such as couscous with vegetables.
This product is currently available in select LCBO retail stores as part of the Destination Collection program.
