The 2022 Christoph Heiss Malinga Hotrot represents the best of Christoph Heiss's winemaking. This exceptional wine is crafted in the heart of Kamptal, Austria, benefitng from the local terroir. Made with a blend featuring St. Laurent, Müller-thurgau, it delivers a complex and balanced experience.
"After studying, working, interning and mopping cellar floors in New Zealand, South Africa, and Germany, a young Christoph Weiss returned home to Austria to establish his own natural wine project called Malinga, spanning 12 hectares of the choicest plots within his family’s vineyards. Hotrot is a delicious, chillable blend of St. Laurent, Rotburger, Blauburger and Müller-Thurgau that’s hand-harvested, fermented spontaneously, then aged on the lees in stainless steel tanks for five months. The wine opens with an enticing nose of wild red berries and forest bramble, leading to a light-to-medium-bodied palate of tart cranberry and white cherry followed by a bright, vibrant finish with light and delicate tannins. Pair with kasspatzln, Austria’s answer to mac and cheese, or brettljause, a traditional Austrian charcuterie spread."
