Weingut Malat

Furth bei Göttweig , Kremstal

With a long history, Weingut Malat has been producing exceptional wines since 1722. Originally known for its expertise in sparkling wine, the winery now crafts noteworthy wines of all types. Still family-run, the winery is located in Palt, south of the Danube River, within the wine region of Kremstal. Currently, 10th generation and avid heliskier Michael Malat has been managing operations since 2010. Mostly a few kilometres from the winery, their 45ha of vineyards are on soils of primary rock and loess. They are managed with organic and sustainable practices to ensure quality fruit and that the vines root deep into the soils. Plantings of Grüner Veltliner & Riesling are the majority, but some Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Zweigelt, and others, are bottled and are pleasant finds. Natural fermentation is preferred and generally prefers old wooden barrels for maturation. Weingut Malat has continually evolved, but the passion for quality, drive for perfection, and respect for tradition has never changed, and these are what characterize their fresh, pure, honest wines.
