Weingut R&A Pfaffl
Let us start with a concrete fact. Grüner Veltliner, which in Italy is a curious rarity in some small mountain areas, is the main grape variety in Austria. Here in the foothills of the Alps, it is grown almost everywhere, coming to account for about a third of national production alone. Companies like Pfaffl work it sublimely, enhancing every little nuance of its broad aromatic range. It is important to remember that Grüner Veltliner, in fact, is classified as a semi-aromatic grape, on a par with Sauvignon Blanc. This "house" version of Pfaffl is made with pure Grüner Veltliner from the Stetten im Weinviertel area. We are in the eastern part of the country, where the climate is decidedly continental, with long cold winters. The grapes, in this case, come from vineyards over 30 years old, harvested by hand to select only the best bunches. Super-soft vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel, this VOM HAUS from Pfaffl shows a beautiful pale yellow color with green reflections in the glass. On the nose it releases pleasant apple fragrances, while in the mouth it surprises with its delicately spiced flavor, with notes of citrus and herbs. The finish is elegant and luscious It invites, in some ways, pairing. A perfect summer wine, it is ideal with fresh, light salads but also with spicy, Asian-inspired dishes.
Don't be intimidated by the hard-to-pronounce name, Pfaffl, or the not-so-common origin, at least for us Italians. For nearly 40 years, in fact, the Pfaffels have been considered among the most brilliant ambassadors of the Grüner Veltliner grape variety (also difficult to pronounce, but terribly pleasant to drink), but also of Riesling, Chardonnay, Zweigelt and St. Laurent in their country, Austria. The winery has a total of 110 hectares of vineyards, spread among 10 different villages in the southern Weinviertel area and Vienna. While this particular fragmentation makes vineyard management more complex, it also ensures a great diversity of soils and microclimates, which the Pfaffl people are able to express to perfection in their wines. An assortment that ranges from light and straightforward labels to concentrated and powerful wines, particularly with regard to the country's iconic grape variety, Grüner Veltliner, which is produced in numerous variants.
