i. Biography
Coming Up
Roman Jäger trained at Höhere Bundeslehranstalt Klosterneuburg, and that schooling supplied the technical base for his work at Weingut Jäger in Weißenkirchen in der Wachau, Austria. In a region where detail matters, the education reads less as background than as a working foundation: observation, repetition, and a disciplined approach carried forward into the cellar and vineyard. The continuity between school and estate is clear in Roman Jäger’s practice, where precision is part of the method and place is part of the brief.
Where They Are Now
At Weingut Jäger, Roman Jäger works as winemaker, shaping the estate’s output through the seasonal demands of harvest, élevage, and cellar work. In Weißenkirchen in der Wachau, Austria, the role is anchored to a specific landscape and to wines that are expected to speak plainly about origin. The work is daily and exacting: keeping the vineyard and cellar aligned, and maintaining the consistency that gives the estate its identity.
Signature
Roman Jäger’s signature wines include Riesling Spezial, 2021 Riesling Smaragd Ried Achleiten DAC, 2024 Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Ried Weitenberg Wachau DAC, Riesling Smaragd Steinriegl 2016, and 2021 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Achleiten. Read together, they show a working range built on Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, with site and vintage doing much of the defining. The classifications and vineyard names are not decoration here; they are the coordinates of the style, setting out how Roman Jäger uses the Wachau’s own language to organize the wines around precision, place, and release of detail.
