Portrait of Thomas Huber
i. Biography
Coming Up
State-certified mountain and skiing guide has been Thomas Huber’s credential since 1992, and the title fits the same qualities his winemaking asks for: reading conditions, working within limits, and making careful calls under changing weather and terrain. The discipline is practical rather than ornamental. In a profile built around vineyard work, it adds a second field of expertise shaped by the same demands of precision and patience.

Where They Are Now
The family winery founded by Ernst Huber remains Thomas Huber’s present work, with Vienna still set at the center of the brief. The point is continuity: wines that stay close to their origin, and a cellar ethic that treats quality as fidelity to place. In that framework, the winery functions as more than a business line. It carries a city’s memory in working form, with the vineyards, site, and slope left to register clearly in the glass.
Signature
Thomas's signature wines include Ried Mitterberg Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC, Riesling Preussen 2013, Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC, Riesling 1ÖTW, and Grüner Veltliner Gollin 1ÖTW. Together, these labels point to a cellar organized around Vienna, site, and variety, with origin built into the naming itself. The set moves from the mixed-field logic of Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC to the more defined expression of Riesling Preussen 2013, then through Riesling 1ÖTW and Grüner Veltliner Gollin 1ÖTW, all of them anchored in a vocabulary of place rather than excess.
