Huber Rosenstock Gruner Veltliner 2025

 

Markus Huber is one of the benchmarks of the Austrian Traisental wine region. His reputation is largely based on his elegant, authentic, and terroir-driven white wines from the region's characteristic limestone soils.

Markus makes this excellent "entry-level" Grüner Veltliner Rosenweg for everyday use. For this cuvée, Markus sources optimally ripe grapes from friendly farmers on various plots in Traisental. The grapes come from vines ranging in age from five to eighty years old.

 

After harvest, Markus crushes the grapes and macerates them on the skins for six hours. He then presses the grapes and ferments the juice in stainless steel tanks. The wine then ages for another three months on the settled yeasts. This adds some extra volume and complexity.

The result is a wonderfully light, classic Grüner, with the unmistakable, crystal-clear Huber signature. Enjoy this fine white wine as an aperitif, or pair it with (smoked) salmon or trout. It also pairs beautifully with slightly spicy Asian dishes!

 

Ideal to drink on its own, or in combination with light salads, fish dishes and spicy tapas.

 

A beautifully typified Grüner Veltliner with abundant aromatic expression of pear, citrus, and white flowers. Invigorating, juicy, and delightfully crisp and dry with good length.
