    Portrait of Julian Huber

    i. Biography

    Coming Up

    Since 2014, Julian Huber has co-run Weingut Bernhard Huber in Malterdingen, Germany, while also making the wines. The work asks for timing, patience, and a steady hand: the kind of oversight that keeps a winery’s identity coherent from one vintage to the next. In that setting, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sit at the center of the brief, and the estate’s long view is carried through by decisions made quietly, repeatedly, and with control. Working alongside Barbara Huber, he has helped keep the focus on the grapes rather than the gesture.

    Where They Are Now

    Since 2014, he has been the winemaker at Weingut Bernhard Huber and has co-run the estate with Barbara Huber. The position is built around Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, two varieties that demand attention to detail and a disciplined sense of balance. That focus gives the work its shape: measured, consistent, and tied closely to the estate’s own identity. At Weingut Bernhard Huber, the cellar and the estate are not separate concerns, and Julian Huber’s role reflects that overlap.

    Signature

    Julian's signature wines include 2013 Spätburgunder Alte Reben and Malterdinger Rosé trocken. The 2013 Spätburgunder Alte Reben and the Malterdinger Rosé trocken point to a range that stays within the estate’s own language while giving each bottling a distinct register. Read together, they show the priorities that define his work at Weingut Bernhard Huber: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, handled with restraint and attention to balance.
