Grüner Veltliner Obere Steigen 2021

- 90 points -

From a former single vineyard that is today part of the Nussdorfer Alte Setzen, the 2021 Grüner Veltliner Obere Steigen is Huber's most successful wine in domestic gastronomy for many years. Based on vines that average 25 to 30 years of age on loam and calcareous conglomerate soils and predominantly vinified in stainless steel, the 2021 shows a clear, bright, fresh and spicy nose. Elegant and lush on the palate, this is an intense, textured and finely tannic Grüner Veltliner that was fermented with indigenous yeasts to fully dry in three weeks. A smaller part of this cuvée was vinified in oak, which gives this elegant texture and suppleness. This is an excellent gastronomic Veltliner that can be served today as well as in 10 years. 12.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted at the domaine in September 2022.
