Description
Markus Huber makes beautiful white wines in the Austrian Traisental. This small area, south of the much better known and large Kremstal, is known for its high lime content in the soil. The climate, with cool nights and warm days in the summer, is extremely suitable for white wine production. It is reminiscent of the climate of Burgundy, which is located at the same latitude.
The Grüner Veltliner excels in Traisental and, partly due to the chalky soil, gets a particularly refined expression. The Alte Setzen vineyard has vines that are over fifty years old and is classified as Erste Lage; a strict selection by the Association of Austrian Traditional Wineries. The most beautiful and ripe grapes from this vineyard are selected and then cooled to ferment.
This is followed by a maturation of four months in large acacia wood barrels and storage on the dead yeast cells. The result is an impressive dry white wine with both richness and finesse. A rightful top wine that reaps high ratings and belongs to the top of our white wine range.
