Breisgau

Breisgau is Huber's entry-level white VDP.Gutswein, a regional Baden bottling drawn from parcels around Malterdingen - Grauburgunder from Bombach, Koendringen, and Hecklingen alongside Weissburgunder from Malterdinger Bienenberg. It is a roughly even Weissburgunder / Grauburgunder blend, whole-bunch pressed and spontaneously fermented in barrel with around a third new oak, then rested on the fine lees so the texture firms up without ever feeling oaky. 2022 was a warm, dry Baden vintage where late-season rain and cool nights helped keep the Burgunders fresh, though this is not a low-alcohol bottling at around 13%. It is the cheapest way into Julian Huber's reductive, mineral-led house style.
