Malat, Kremstal - BartS - 17-04-2023 11:29 AM
Domein van 50ha (https://www.malat.at/wp/).
"Located in Palt, the Malat Estate borders the famous Wachau wine-growing region on the west and stands on the historic geographical hillside Gottweiger Berg. Benefitting from a microclimate regulated by the Danube River, with hot days and cool nights, Malat’s wines show a singular spiciness. With its soil composition of primary rock and loess, the site “Höhlgraben” has been a single-vineyard expression of the estate since the inception of the winery, producing exquisite Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. Vineyards sites upon the Gottweiger Berg, comprised of gravel and loam soils, and “Silberbichl,” composed of mica-schist, are the definitive sites for Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, respectively. While others may wane, the Malat Winery continues its pursuit of perfection and evolves with the times while keeping an eye on its rich past. Vineyard sites are hand worked, with organic and sustainable practices integral to the winemaking process. A modern boutique hotel opened in 2012, offering guest rooms and dining situated directly upon the beautiful vineyards of this historic and prestigious estate."
De 2017 Höhlgraben Grüner Veltliner in het glas. Zeer fris en elegant. Nauwelijks hout merkbaar (klopt, want vinificatie blijkt fermentatie op inox, waarna zo'n 2 maanden op grote houten vaten (7000 en 10000 liter) in contact met bezinksel). Witte bloemen, wit steenfruit. Cool climate wine. Witte peper in afdronk. Perfect bij asperges.
