The traditional foundations of the winery were laid by Ernst Huber, who, together with his wife Gerti, completely reinterpreted the concept of the Viennese wine tavern in the 1970s: with its diverse premises and magnificent garden, the "Fuhrgassl-Huber" soon became a trademark for typical "Viennese conviviality" - as indigenous as Viennese wine itself.
The family's commitment to wine culture is now being continued by grandson Thomas Huber with professional expertise and enthusiasm. With his regional winner in the "Kräftiger Gemischter Satz" category in the 2011 vintage, he clearly showed where the path would continue to lead, namely towards the vinification of wines typical of the region with high quality standards, without neglecting the necessary balance between nature and modern cellar technology.
The Fuhrgassl-Huber winery has been a member of the "WienWein" group since 2014 and of "Traditionsweingüter Österreich" since 2018 and has been producing three 1ÖTW single-vineyard wines since the 2017 vintage: Grüner Veltliner Ried Gollin, Pinot Blanc Ried Schenkenberg and Riesling Ried Preussen. A fourth, the Wiener Gemischte Satz DAC Ried Gollin, was added with the 2019 vintage. Ernst Huber, who passed away in winter 2020, knew every inch of the Viennese vineyards and planted many of the vines with his own hands over 30 years ago. Now his grandson Thomas Huber runs the winery alone. Having grown up in the vineyard alongside his grandfather, he has a particular passion for cultivating old grape varieties such as Neuburger, Traminer and Roter Muskateller. Currently, 14 of the 38 hectares of vineyards are reserved for the Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC. With the Ried Mitterberg, the winery has already been the Viennese regional winner five times and has represented Vienna several times in the "SALON Austria Wine" with its Gemischter Satz.
The Fuhrgassl-Huber winery will take the next quality steps by expanding the range of wines of provenance in order to further emphasise the special vineyards in Neustift and the 1ÖTW sites on the Nussberg and in Grinzing.
