Taking top awards and trophies for “Winemaker of the Year”, “Indiana Winery of the Year” and “Indiana Wine of the Year with Catawba Rose” along with a total of 22 medals just continue to highlight the extraordinary skills of the Winemaking Team at Huber’s. The highly prestigious competition, in its 24th year, drew submissions from 40 states and 12 countries as far away as France, Australia, Spain and Greece. Wines were judged on appearance, aroma, taste and aftertaste by 42 international judges in one of the nation's largest wine competitions. This competition was held July 29-­‐31, 2015 on the Purdue University campus in West Lafayette, Indiana. With over 2,000 wines in this year’s competition, Huber’s submitted 22 wines and received 22 medals. An extraordinary showcase for Huber’s and it seems that Huber’s commitment to agriculture is setting them apart from others. Ted Huber had this to say about their recent awards, “We spend countless hours in the vineyards because we know the highest quality wine starts in the vineyards. Healthy vineyards coupled with the extraordinary skills of our winemaking team and our endless dedication to our mission of producing only the highest quality wines is continuing to carry us to the top”. With 6 Double Gold, 4 Gold, 8 Silver, and 4 Bronze -­‐ Huber’s is Indiana’s largest estate bottled winery with over 80 acres of grapes and growing over 20 varieties of grapes which include Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and native American varietals like Seyval Blanc, Chardonel, Niagara, and Catawba. The success of these vines and the resulting award-­‐winning wines validates Simon Huber’s belief that Southern Indiana is a truly wonderful place to grow grapes and produce world-­‐class wines. Huber’s has been “Family Owned and Farmed since 1843” and proudly brands this message to all guests. Starting with only two 80 acre tracts of land, this business has diversified and grown to over 700 acres today. Producing not only wines but also brandies, ports, infusions, and most recently added the other spirits of Vodka, Gin, and Bourbon with the recent passing of the Craft Artisan Permit in Indiana. Each generation of the Huber Family has worked diligently to show just how perfect this part of the world is for farming and grape production. The entire Huber Family is excited about this amazing showing on an International level, and we continue to be committed to bringing our community and customers the highest quality product. It’s an exciting time for Huber’s and our doors are open and ready to welcome you to our tasting room in Starlight, Indiana to taste these extraordinary wines.
