Tenth generation farmer, Markus Huber, is famed within the Austrian wine industry, continuously pushing the boundaries and improving operations at his premium, family-run winery.
The Huber family have been farming in the Traisental area in lower Austria since the 17th century, and Markus has been at the helm since 2000, turning it into one of Austria’s leading exporters of premium wines.
The Traisental area, 60km west of Vienna, has a cool climate due to its idyllic location between the Alps and the Danube. As Traisental has the coolest climate in all of Austria, it is a premium location for white wines specifically, giving the wines a unique, mineral-driven style. It is also the only appellation in Austria where Gruner Veltliner and Riesling are grown on limestone soils.
Markus focuses on ecological viticulture and using natural resources sustainably. The winery has a low carbon footprint, with the goal of being fully carbon neutral within the next five years, all the wines are certified organic, and the entire winery is certified according to the requirements of “Sustainable Austria”.
