Markus Huber Grüner Veltliner Ried Alte Setzen Erste Lage 2023, Organic

The "Alte Setzen" vineyard is a prestigious southeast facing slope with deep, warm loess soil, creating the perfect environment for cultivating high-quality grapes. The vines, aged over 60 years, produce exceptional fruit for this Grüner Veltliner, which is reflected in the numerous accolades it has received. With 93-95 points from renowned critics like Falstaff, A la Carte, and Wine Enthusiast, this wine is universally praised for its exceptional value and quality, as if crafted from a single mould.

Partially aged in steel tanks and large acacia barrels, the wine boasts a nose rich in tobacco spice, complemented by notes of yellow apple and a touch of tropical fruit. On the palate, it’s juicy and complex, with a sweet extract core and hints of honeydew melon, offering a refined and lingering finish. With excellent ageing potential, this wine pairs beautifully with Indian and Asian cuisine. While delightful to drink now, it will continue to evolve and improve in the cellar for years to come!
