2024 Huber - Gruner Veltliner Obere Steigen (750ml)

Markus Huber, named "Winemaker of the Year" and widely regarded as one of Austria's rising stars, farms the Obere Steigen vineyard organically on sandy-loamy topsoil over a limestone conglomerate subsoil, with vines ranging from 25 to 50 years old, giving the wine real minerality and depth. Only the best fruit from the site makes the final cut. The 2024 shows a youthful medium yellow-green color, with a classic Veltliner nose of white pepper and crisp apple, moving into a juicy, vibrant palate balancing ripe fruit against bright acidity, with the limestone soil's minerality carrying through to a long, elegant finish marked by pear. A consistent bestseller and cornerstone of the modern Austrian white wine scene.
