Hager Matthias

Kamptal Riesling and rare Austrian dessert wines of mineral precision.

Hager Matthias works the Kamptal, a steep-terraced valley in Niederösterreich where cool nights and mineral-rich soils shape wines of precision and depth. The winery's focus centers on Riesling, the region's signature grape, expressed across a range from dry to nobly sweet. The Riesling Pur offers the varietal in its essential form, while the Riesling Auslese captures the potential of late-harvest fruit—concentrated, complex, and structured for aging. A departure into Zweigelt, Austria's native red, yields the Eiswein Zweigelt, a rare dessert wine that marries the grape's dark cherry character with the intensity of ice-wine production. Falstaff, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Decanter have all assessed the portfolio, recognizing the technical caliber across the range. The wines reflect Kamptal's continental climate and the winery's commitment to expressing terroir through both classical and unconventional methods.
