The Jäger winery is located in the idyllic wine village of Weißenkirchen and has been family-owned for generations. The Jägerhaus with its classicist façade dates back to 1838. The lovingly cultivated and sustainably maintained vineyards are located in the best locations around Weißenkirchen. Each vineyard is individually cultivated according to variety, location and soil. Gentle processing during harvesting and vinification preserves the natural aromas of the single-variety grapes. The wines are matured in stainless steel tanks in the three quality levels "Steinfeder", "Federspiel" and "Smaragd", which are valid for the "Vinea Wachau". This results in wines that are typical of the vintage, corresponding to the varietal character, full of delicacy, bouquet density and fruity elegance. Roman Jäger's wines exemplify a fruit precision and liveliness that is otherwise difficult to find in terms of consistency and clarity. On the one hand, he is concerned with wringing all the aromas and typicity out of his varieties, but on the other hand he also aims to express the specific terroir notes of his individual vineyards authentically in the wine. The emphasis is on nuances, and so there are always subtle differences between his wines from the Klaus, Achleiten, Vorderseiber and Steinriegl vineyards. Roman Jäger pays equal attention to the Smaragd and Federspiel wines for which he has become famous. Vinification takes place in a cool barrel vault in stainless steel tanks in order to bring out even the most delicate fruity notes from the wines - which also include Sauvignon Blanc and Muskateller. Once a year, the Jägerhaus hosts a Heuriger that goes beyond the traditional framework and impresses with a variety of selected gastronomic delicacies.
