The Markus Huber winery is considered the leading winery in the Traisental, and its wines can be found in more than 35 countries worldwide. The aim of the winemaker and chairman of the Traisental winegrowers is to produce unique wines full of character on the one hand, and on the other to contribute to making the Traisental, with its unique limestone-rich conglomerate soils, better known. Markus Huber produces wines with a crystal-clear style, terroir-driven minerality and varietal typicity.
The main variety is clearly Grüner Veltliner. This is offered in four different styles. Depending on the type of soil and the ageing potential of the grapes, the wine is matured either in steel tanks or in large wooden barrels. The second most important variety is Riesling, followed by Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Gelber Muskateller.
SALON winner in 2003, national winner, four-time winner of the Falstaff Grüner Veltliner Grand Prix, gold medal at the London International Wine and Spirit Competition and award for Best White Wine Producer, outstanding reviews in Austrian specialist media, a nomination for the Newcomer of the Year award in Falstaff magazine and finally the title of "Wunderkind" in the English Decanter: Markus Huber was already on the right track at a young age and has not left it to this day.
Markus Huber also takes a straightforward approach to product quality assurance: the winery has been IFS and BRC-certified since 2007. Working uncompromisingly to achieve the highest quality is Markus Huber's top priority. "Tweaking the quality screw a little more every year is what motivates me," says the winemaker. All vineyards have been certified organic-biological since 2020. The winery is a member of the "Traditionsweingüter Österreich" association. In 2015, Markus Huber was named "Winemaker of the Year" by Falstaff magazine.
