Riesling Reichersdorf Alte Reben 2025Huber
The Huber - Riesling Reichersdorf Alte Reben comes from the village of Reichersdorf, in the Traisental, in Lower Austria. The old vines are planted on east-facing terraces, between 200 and 350 metres above sea level, on sandy loam soils. Cool nights under Alpine influence and warm days under Pannonian influence extend the ripening period and preserve lively acidity and great aromatic intensity.
The grapes, grown organically, are pressed slowly in a pneumatic press for eight hours. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks, then the wine is aged for four months on its fine lees, which round out the texture. The 2025 vintage is fresh, precise and highly aromatic, carried by slow ripening.
This wine reveals notes of mirabelle plum, guava, white peach, lemon, fresh herbs, white blossom, acacia honey and chalk. The palate is pure, elegant and round, carried by a fruity sweetness balanced by a saline touch. The finish, both racy and creamy, naturally calls for food.
Where are we traveling?
TraisentalAustria
Located approximately 60 kilometers west of Vienna in Lower Austria, Traisental is the smallest and newest of Austria's wine appellations, having only obtained its DAC (Districtus Austriae Controllatus) status in 2006. The region stretches along the valley of the Traisen River, a tributary of the Danube, for about 25 kilometers between the towns of Traismauer in the north and Lilienfeld in the south, at the foot of the Alps. The climate is moderate continental, influenced by warm air masses from the Pannonian Plain to the east and tempered by cool currents descending from the Prealps to the south, creating significant temperature variations between day and night that are conducive to aromatic concentration. The valley also benefits from the regulating effect of the Traisen, which brings coolness and humidity, reducing the risk of summer drought. The soils are remarkably diverse, ranging from deep, fertile loess to alluvial gravels and pebbles, and including limestone conglomerates, offering a range of terroirs conducive to different expressions. This young appellation, though modest in size, produces white wines of great purity, particularly from Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, reflecting the freshness and elegance characteristic of this Alpine terroir.
The little history of the country
Austria
Austrian viticulture has made enormous strides in wine quality over the past decade. Today, Austrian winemakers no longer produce cheap wines for mass consumption, but rather refined and complex wines. Austria produces 65% white wines. From a general perspective, Austrian wines are more powerful and richer than those of their German neighbor. The major and most widely planted national grape variety is Grüner Veltliner (an indigenous white grape). Red wine production continues to increase in volume, intensity, and quality. In Burgenland, in particular, producers are making the most of a unique blend of local grape varieties (Blaufränkisch, Saint-Laurent, Zweigelt) and French varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir). Austria's climate is primarily continental, with cold winters and hot summers. The country is influenced by four main weather patterns. To the east, continental influences from Pannonia; to the west, Atlantic influences as well as cold winds from the north; and to the south, Mediterranean influences. The Danube, meandering languidly through numerous vineyards, brings a variety of microclimates to the vines.
