Squaring the wine is the goal of the Gager winery in Deutschkreutz, Burgenland. Exactly this square in different colour compositions also adorns the labels of the Gager wines, which have been used since the beginning. Here, everything is done to achieve exactly this quadrature: perfection in wine. What began as a hobby for his parents in the 1980s is now being continued by Horst Gager in the second generation, and the future also seems secure, because son Jonas, a student at the Klosterneuburg School of Viticulture, is already lending a hand in the family business.
With the pressing of exclusively red wine, the Gager winery has already positioned itself far beyond the country's borders as a specialist for just such wine. When it comes to sourcing raw materials, however, the journey need not be a long one, as these are to be found in the form of perfect grapes right on the doorstep. And because the company attaches great importance to regionality and a resource-conserving approach to nature, it has already been certified as "sustainable".
Currently, 38 hectares of vineyards are cultivated. The range comprises a total of eight grape varieties, including the main regional grape variety and at the same time the Gagers' hobbyhorse: Blaufränkisch. In addition to the region's leading variety, Zweigelt, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are also flagship wines. Characteristic of the Gager wines, in addition to their deep dark colour, are above all their compact body and enormous storage ageing potential - qualities that together have already ensured a long list of successes.
