  • Editors' Choice

A selection made at the end of the harvest (hence its name, The Best). It is an opulent, ripe wine, with fruit that has concentration, dark spice and pepper and rich, full-bodied texture. There is no mistaking the depth of flavor of this impressive wine.  — R.V.  (12/1/2009)

A truly racy style of Riesling, which shows minerality, elegance and fresh, crisp fruit. For the difficult 2003 vintage, this wine has great freshness, with delicious green plum flavors. It will age 5 years and more. Imported by Morandell Imports.  — R.V.  (8/1/2005)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $42
There is power here, the weight of fruit packing white peach and currant flavors structured around a mineral core. The wine is for aging, with its strong texture, its edge of apple skins and its layered acidity.  — R.V.  (12/31/2009)

Malat 2003 Dreigarten Grüner Veltliner (Kremstal)

  1. $29
Gerald Malat is a seminal figure in winemaking in Krems, the first to match grape variety to soil type in a region previously dominated by small holdings and tiny vineyards. So it’s fitting that this Grüner Veltliner should power through with ripe, peppery fruit and flavors of apples, pears and spice. It needs a year or two to age. Imported by Morandell Imports.  — R.V.  (5/1/2005)

Malat 2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Kremstal)

  1. $48
You can tell this is Gerald Malat’s flagship red by the weight of the bottle. And, yes, it is a fine wine. The Cabernet structure and dry tannins are all here, as part of a firm, blackberry fruit-flavored wine, that shows some herbal character as well as wood. Age for 3 years.  — R.V.  (10/1/2007)

Malat 2003 Silberbühel Riesling (Kremstal)

  1. $36
A youthful Riesling, still bursting with energy and vitality but nowhere near ready to drink. It has flavors of white peach, currants and minerality. It is full, but the acidity shows through, giving a deliciously crisp, fresh aftertaste. Imported by Morandell Imports.  — R.V.  (5/1/2005)

  1. $27
A bone-dry wine, with great green flavors, acidity, and fresh grapefruit. Gerald Malat is one of Austria’s top award-winning winemakers, and this clean, clear wine shows why. Imported by Morandell Imports.  — R.V.  (8/1/2005)
