#57 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 of 2020

Medium green yellow; pure pepper on the nose; hinting at typical Grüner spiciness; aromatic herbs and yellow fruit; dense and complex on the palate; great promise for the future. Goes best with fish e.g. with trout or salmon; also very good with spicy food; especially asian cuisine.

Wine Enthusiast (92/100)
A subtle tone of yeast on the nose has a bright edge of lemon zest. The palate also combined savory, textured yeast with tingling, zesty lemon, resulting in a lovely combination of richness and tangy freshness. The body is slender, concentrated, dry and vivid.

James Suckling (90/100)
A fresh, bright white  with sliced-lemon and green-apple aromas and flavors. Medium body. Creamy finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

The Huber family has wine growing roots dating back more than 220 years. Today the winery in Reichersdorf is in its 10th generation and is run by Markus Huber. His outstanding ability to manage the winery with sensitivity and consistency, both in the vineyards and the cellars, has ensured that in a very short space of time he has established Huber wines as an internationally acclaimed leading producer of the region Traisental. The Huber winery is also a member of the “Traditionsweingüter Österreich” – traditional vineyards of Austria.

Absolute focus on the strengths of the region and the unique soil types that are found there ensure that year to year the wines display unmistakable clarity of fruit. “Sustainable development, carefully controlling the harvest and meticulous pruning are the most natural and important prerequisites for successful winemaking”, says Markus. “Only that way can there be a harmonious merging of traditional and modern methods that create pure wines of unique provenance and character.”

Appreciated for superior wines made from indigenous varieties, Austria should be on the radar of any curious wine drinker. A rather cool and dry wine growing region, this country produces wine that is quintessentially European in style: food-friendly with racy acidity, moderate alcohol and fresh fruit flavors.
