STORY
Markus Huber was born and raised at the winery
situated in the Traisental Valley, a the sub-region of
Niederösterreich. The estate has been with the Huber
family since 9 generations. Being the 10th generation and
now responsible since the year 2000 for the Huber estate,
Markus has become one of the leading winemakers in
Austria and has received numerous awards for his wines
and winemaking skills.
His distinctive, top-quality wines, grown on outstanding
soils of lime and conglomerate, serve as an example of
the very best Austria can provide. The practice of organic
viticulture is an interplay of instinct, readiness to take
risks and trust in nature. The aim is to create a natural
balance between soil, plants, animals, humans and to
strengthen the natural defense mechanisms of the vines.
The Grüner Veltliner grape is the pride of Austria and
thrives in the soils and climate that can only be found
here. The primary fruit flavors in Grüner Veltliner are lime,
lemon, pear and grapefruit. There is also a green and
herbaceous flavor that is often described as white pepper.
WINE MAKING
The grapes first undergo 4 hours of skin contact
fermentation to extract as much of the fruit aromas as
possible. After fermentation the wine is left to rest on the
lees for 4 months, further enhancing the smoothness and
texture of the wine.
FOOD PAIRING
This smooth, fruity, and mouthwateringly crisp wine with
intense flavors pairs with a broad range of food: salads,
chicken, cooked or grilled vegetables, fish and seafood
dishes as well with Asian spices.
Serving temperature 6–8 °C.
