Ninth-generation winegrower, Michael Malat took the lead from his father, Gerald, at their Kremstal winery that dates to 1722. The 2024 vintage was especially memorable for Michi Malat, who broke his leg on the second day of harvest but continued working with a cast and on crutches. A blend of different vineyards throughout the right bank of the Danube, this wine carries a lovely mineral-driven nose accentuated by notes of lemon curd, almond, nutmeg, and brown butter. The tart and fresh palate shines with a zesty, high-toned acidity that fully encompasses the back palate. Practicing organic.
