The family-owned winery in Reichersdorf is currently run by the tenth generation winemaker, Markus Huber. The Huber family have roots in the region dating back more than 220 years; in 2000, Markus took over four hectares from his father which, up until that point, only produced wines that were served in his family restaurant. Winner of the prestigious Falstaff award for "Best Winery/Winemaker in Austria," Markus has successfully established Huber as a showcase for precision, minerality and elegance. Huber has also since been noted for 'putting Traisental on the map, both, internationally and in Austria,' by Austrian Wine. The family's highest priority is to work without compromise in the vineyards and in the cellar for premium quality. The winery plans to be completely energy efficient, maintaining their own heat and water sources, including installing a 3MW solar panel plant producing electricity for the winery and 750 households.

Tasting Notes
From the Obere Steigen vineyard in Niederosterreich, Austria, this Gruner Veltliner is crafted by Weingut Markus Huber from 25 to 50-year-old vines grown at 200-400 meters on southeast-facing slopes with limestone conglomerate soils in a cool alpine climate. Harvested between October 25-27 during a very good vintage with dry conditions and ample water supply, the grapes were carefully selected, crushed, cooled, and given 8 hours of skin contact. Fermentation took place in stainless steel at 19C using ambient yeast, followed by 4 months of lees contact in stainless steel to enhance texture and complexity.
