The Malat winery is one of those special wineries that produce top-quality products in all areas: white, red, sparkling and sweet - and exclusively from grapes grown in their own vineyards. Since 2008, Michael Malat has been running the family business in Furth bei Göttweig, which was founded in 1722, and makes his own style of wine here. "I want to make wines that people enjoy drinking, not just tasting, and I want each of them to have my personal signature: elegance, finesse and drinkability!"
Michael Malat pursues a style of wine that was already shaped by his father Gerald, winemaking pioneer of the Krems Valley, who brought the winery to the top with his visionary work. "The diversity of our range reflects both the long tradition and the potential of our winegrowing region," says Michael Malat, delighted with the great opportunities he has as a winemaker in the Kremstal. He deliberately refrains from irrigating the vines, which is common in many places; "It would change the character of the vineyards. Only when the vines are forced to root deeply in order to access water and minerals can the character of the vineyard be expressed authentically in the wine." Spontaneous fermentation for all single-vineyard wines and the complete renunciation of botrytis grapes also ensure a precise, recognisable profile for all wines. They are clear and transparent, varietally typical and animating, rich in finesse, complex and authentic, but never overly opulent.
The Malats know how to perfectly play the entire range from light white wines to complex red wines. Every year you can look forward to top wines from this house.
Since 1976, Austria's first sparkling wines have also been produced using the traditional method. Today, these include Malat Brut, Malat Brut Rosé and a Blanc de Blancs. Typical varietal sweet wines complete the product range - these are also always among the best in the country. Perfection has been the guiding principle at the Malat winery for many generations.
