Markus Huber's wines have a crystal clean style, with a minerality that reflects the terroir while retaining varietal typicity.
Grüner Veltliner is undoubtedly the main variety. It is produced in four different styles.

The second main variety is Riesling, followed by Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Sauvignon Blanc, and Gelber Muskateller.
