Huber - 2024 - Obere Steigen - 750 ml.

Subregion: Côte de Beaune

Markus Huber’s Obere Steigen is a single-vineyard Grüner Veltliner from Nussdorf in Austria’s Traisental, a site-driven white that balances lively acidity, concentrated yellow-fruit character and a distinct chalky minerality. Sourced from the Obere Steigen parcel, this Grüner is immediate in its appeal — think mirabelle and quince fruit, yellow apple and a thread of herbal freshness — yet it carries the structural depth and mineral spine that signal genuine aging potential. The wine’s white-pepper spice and saline, chalky core give it precision and make it a superb match for a range of light-to-medium dishes: seafood, roast chicken, classic veal schnitzel and composed salads all pair beautifully. With high acidity and focused concentration, Obere Steigen works well as a drinking-now wine that will reward careful cellaring for years to come. The wine’s pedigree is reinforced by critical praise in strong vintages: reviewers highlight its concentrated fruit, yeasty and saline core, and bright citrus edge, all animated by white-pepper lift. For collectors and curious drinkers seeking a terroir-true Grüner Veltliner from Traisental’s Nussdorf subzone, Markus Huber’s Obere Steigen is a compact, terroir-expressive bottle that offers immediate pleasure and a compelling case for short- to medium-term aging. It’s an elegant, food-friendly expression of Grüner Veltliner crafted with site specificity and tension between fruit, spice and mineral detail.
