The winery is located on a hill in the municipality of Schönberg in the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Kamptal. The traditional family has been growing grapes here for many generations. Today, after years of apprenticeship with Franz Hirtzberger (Spitz/Donau) and Ernst Triebaumer (Rust), the winery is run by Matthias Hager. The restaurant "Weinbeisserei" is run by Hermann Hager. The vineyards cover 14 hectares of vineyards in the Hiesberg, Schönberg and Seeberg vineyards. They are 70% planted with the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, Gelber Muskateller, Frühroter Veltliner, Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and Sauvignon Blanc, and 30% with the red wine varieties Zweigelt, Blauburgunder (Pinot Noir), Blauburger and St. Laur ent. Some of them are also cultivated as a " Gemischter Satz ". For a long time now, the vineyards have been cultivated organically and, since the 2010 vintage, according to certified biodynamic guidelines.
