The New Chapter Grüner Veltliner is a fantastic wine that is currently making waves internationally. It's made by two renowned winemakers, Markus Huber & Lenz. It's incomparable to the more "old-style" Gruner Veltliner, and in blind tastings and reference tastings, it's placed alongside expensive Hermitage or Burgundy. It's now a premium wine at Emirates.

Despite its young age, we also want to give you the opportunity to taste two vintages, and because we are so convinced, we are offering this set of two vintages of New Chapter at an attractive discount (if you order separately, the price is €65.90).

The 10th-generation Markus Huber family estate is located in Traisental, an hour's drive west of Vienna, in the heart of the Grüner region. The estate is 100% organic, covers 60 hectares, and 70% is planted with Grüner Veltliner. Markus is THE specialist and has been named Austria's best winemaker of the year. The wine is a blend of Markus's finest vineyards in the Traisental region, and the goal is to create a white wine that can compete with the world's finest, in a style that is powerful yet not opulent, and with a focus on elegance. They call this a Gruner Veltliner made with a Burgundy style. So, freshness, elegance, but with finesse and long aging through oak aging.

The Gruner Veltliner grapes come from a vineyard located on limestone with a clay covering. The bunches are destemmed, aged for eight hours, and then cold-soaked. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with yeast contact until bottling, after which the wine matures/ages in barriques (225 liters) and larger oak barrels. In the glass, the New Chapter is a clear, light yellow and boasts fantastic values, including a low alcohol content of 13%, only 2.5 g/l of residual sugar, and a pleasant pH of 3.3. The nose reveals Austrian hills with soft, slightly smoky herbs, a hint of apple, guava, mango, and abundant yellow fruit. On the palate, it offers complex, elegant aromas of yellow pear, mineral notes (chalk, gravel), and a spicy, long finish.

FACT: In the tab: Attachment, you'll find the official fact sheet for this fine wine. We'll automatically send it to you when you order this wine. The wine is stored in our climate-controlled Wine Warehouse, and if you pick it up, you'll also receive a nice discount.

The wine saw its light of day with the 2020 vintage and the wine is receiving unanimously fantastic reviews.

Markus Huber and Lenz Moser are united in their goal to bring Gruener Veltliner to the world as Austria's preeminent and ambassador grape variety. Both partners have learned that you have to fight for the region, for the category, in addition to working for your own company. They know that it always takes a higher cause to be successful.

The goal of Markus and Lenz is now to create a new Gruener Veltliner to be brought to the entire wine-loving world (including outside the German-speaking world ;-). Their clear goal is to help and develop this grape into a global ambassador for top Austrian winemaking.

Lenz & Markus have lived and breathed Gruener their entire lives. When they decided to start this exciting new project (NEW CHAPTER), they set out on a mission to improve this Austrian treasure to make it even more delicate for the international market and make this naturally top grape just another Burgundy. to give style upbringing, so a longer maturation, partly in wood, but while retaining the naturally spicy tones and good acidity.

The family estate of Markus Huber, 10th generation, is located in Traisental, an hour's drive west of Vienna, in the heart of the Grüner region. The estate is 100% organic, 60 hectares in size and 70% planted with Grüner Veltliner. Markus is THE specialist and awarded best winemaker of the year in Austria. The wine is a blend of Markus' best vineyards of the Traisental region, and the idea is to create a white wine that can compete with the best wines in the world, in a style that is powerful but not opulent and with a focus on elegance.
