DESCRIPTION
Huber Berg Erste Lage Grüner Veltliner 2018 is sourced from the limestone soils of the east-facing Berg vineyard, aged in acacia barrels with batonnage (lees stirring). The 2018 vintage, characterized by a warm and early season, favored rapid ripening and a beautiful richness of fruit. Located in Reichersdorf in the Traisental, the Markus Huber estate is a true pillar of Austrian winemaking, with prestigious crus like Berg and Alte Setzen, classified as Premiers Crus. Under the direction of Markus Huber, the estate crafts wines of exceptional purity and minerality from Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. Markus Huber is a member of the Traditionsweingüter Österreich association, which classifies the region's top vineyard sites.
On the nose, a ripe and expressive profile of white-fleshed fruits, delicate herbal spices, and a touch of tropical fruits. On the palate, beautifully concentrated, with a rich texture supported by integrated acidity and a long, persistent finish. It pairs with roast chicken with herbs or wild mushroom pasta. Aging potential of 10 years.
REGION
Lower Austria
Austria
Lower Austria is the largest and most diverse wine region in Austria, producing over 60% of the national output from around 27,000 hectares of vines. Backing onto Vienna and crossed by the Danube, the region is divided into eight distinct appellations, each shaped by its own geology and microclimates. The Wachau, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the most iconic: its terraces of ancient rock overlooking the river give Grüner Veltliner and Riesling of incomparable precision and minerality. Kamptal, Kremstal and Traisental carry on this excellence in white wines, in river valleys with loess and sandstone soils. Further north, the vast Weinviertel, the birthplace of Grüner Veltliner, offers bright, peppery wines that are often remarkable value. To the southeast, Carnuntum and the Thermenregion, under a warmer Pannonian influence, shine more with reds. This is a region for lovers of great terroir driven whites, rooted in a winemaking tradition that goes back to Roman times.
