Description

Markus Huber produces beautiful white wines on 25 hectares of its own vineyard in the Austrian Traisental. This small area south of the much better known and large Kremstal is known for the high lime content in the soil. The climate with cool nights and warm days in summer is ideal for white wine growing. It is reminiscent of the climate of Burgundy that lies on the same latitude.

The grüner veltliner excels in Traisental and thanks to the calcareous soil it gets a special expression with finesse and minerality. The Alte Setzen vineyard has more than fifty years old vines and is classified as Erste Lage; a strict selection of the Association of Austrian Traditionsweingüter. From this vineyard, the most beautiful and ripe grapes are selected to be fermented in a cool way.

This is followed by a four-month maturation on large casks of acacia wood and bearing on the dead yeast cells. The result is an impressive dry white wine with both richness and finesse. A top quality wine that harvests high valuations (93-95 points Falstaff) and belongs to the top of our white wine assortment.
