VDP: What is so special about your winery?

Julian Huber: Each winery is unique in its history and in the interpretation of its sites. Here we try to focus on Burgundian varieties grown on shell limestone soils.

VDP: What is your winery philosophy?

Julian Huber: Less is more. We want to concentrate on the essential and the given.

VDP: To which wine style do you aspire?

Julian Huber: Dry wines of origin with a preference for Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) and Chardonnay.

VDP: Which of your wines would you recommend to someone who does not yet know your winery – as an introduction, so to speak?

Julian Huber: The Malterdinger Spätburgunder VDP.ORTSWEIN.

VDP: Why did you become a vintner?

Julian Huber: Out of passion and commitment to my homeland.

VDP: Do you have role models?

Julian Huber: Many people inspire me. But it was my father, Bernhard Huber, who shaped me most with his meticulousness, courage and passion for perfection in the vineyards and wine.

VDP: What are your next goals?

Julian Huber: To work even closer to nature and to concentrate on the essentials.

“SPÄTBURGUNDER IS VERY DEEPLY ROOTED HERE, EVEN IN THE PEOPLE.”

VDP: How do you combine tradition and innovation?

Julian Huber: Vineyards have been cultivated in Malterdingen for over 700 years. Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is deeply rooted here – even in the people.

VDP: Why should people still visit your winery?

Julian Huber: With its proximity to Alsace, Switzerland, Kaiserstuhl and the Black Forest, the region offers many attractive cultural and culinary highlights.
