Ried Höhlgraben: Weathered stone and gravel
Blasted by frost and water, crushed over millions of years – if you talk about weathering, there are elemental forces, periods and powers behind it.
Even granite turns to dust eventually – if enough time is involved. The minerals that dissolve from the stone in the process are dispersed; influences such as wind, weather and strong temperature contrasts all play a major role.
Between the Steinbühel and Gottschelle, in the Höhlgraben, there is a mixture of weathered stone and gravel soils along with the deposits from the Old Danube. Over this is a loess layer, 20 to 40 centimetres thick. Since Malat was established in 1722, the winery has been cultivating the Höhlgraben vineyard. Today, there are many parcels with a variety of Veltliner clones and vines of different ages.
