The Malat winery is one of those special wineries that produce top-quality products in all areas: white, red, flint 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 realizes 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 wine style that his father Gerald, the wine growing pioneer of the Krems Valley, who brought the winery to the top with his visionary work, already pursued. "The diversity of our range reflects both the long tradition and the ageing potential of our wine-growing 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: "This 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 fully and authentically expressed 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 opulent or 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, Malat Brut and Malat Brut Rosé, have also been produced using the traditional method. 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.
