Persoonlijke gegevens
In 1978, Roman and Adelheid Pfaffl became owners of Weingut Pfaffl at a young age in Stetten, a village just north of Vienna in the Weinviertel - Lower Austria region. Before 1978, the Pfaffl farm was dominated by the cultivation of grains, potatoes and the rearing of cows and pigs. A lot has changed in a short time and Pfaffl is currently one of the highest peaks in Austria. Pfaffl was named Best Austrian Producer in 2022 by the Frankfurt International Trophy. Earlier this year they received the same award from Mundus Vini. At Parker (the Wine Advocate) they belong to the highest scoring producer with their entire range.
The Hommage is Pfaffl's (and perhaps Austrian) best Grüner Veltliner coming from the DAC Wienviertel Reserve. All the knowledge of Roman and Adelheid's father about wine is in here. Not only the wine, but also the label clearly bears his signature. It is his personal tribute to Grüner Veltliner and his career as a winemaker. For this, only the best grapes from age-old vineyards in the Großebersdorfer Kirchenberg and partly from a selection from the Haidviertel site were used, because they give this wine the right freshness. The spontaneous fermentation in acacia wood barrels and the long storage on the yeast (sur lie) contribute to the fact that the HOMMAGE is without doubt the largest Veltliner from Pffafl
"More Veltliner is not possible." Wirtshausführer 2022 on GV HOMMAGE 2020
"A force of nature. The essence of Grüner Veltliner. (...) An exceptional wine with an enormous storage capacity for many years. A wine that radiates the power of the earth." Adolf Schmid, facebook about GV HOMMAGE 2019
“The wine is aromatic and powerful, revealing a lot of salinity and mineral finesse. Very promising." Wine Advocate Stephan Reinhardt, conqueredparker.com about GM HOMMAGE 2015
"Complex, caring and deeply satisfying, richness and freshness in harmony."
Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com at GV HOMAGE 2014
"Roman Pfaffl has succeeded in paying a wonderful tribute to the Grüner Veltliner with the 'Hommage'." Ursula Geiger, VINUM Editor in Zurich, in VINUM, December 2015 on the GM HOMMAGE 2014

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2021 Weingut Pfaffl Hommage Grüner Veltliner Reserve is een prachtige wijn die rijk is aan aroma’s van witte peulvruchten, groene kruiden en een frisse mineraliteit. De smaak wordt gekenmerkt door een mooie balans tussen fruitige frisheid en een subtiele zoutsmaak, wat de wijn een krachtige en toch elegante uitstraling geeft. Deze wijn past uitstekend bij gerechten met gevogelte, vooral als ze bereid zijn met lichte kruiden of een milde saus, omdat de frisse en minerale tonen de subtiele smaken in het gerecht versterken. Ook kaas en vegetarische gerechten zoals geroosterde groenten of risotto vormen een mooie match, vooral wanneer ze met zachte, romige of kruidige elementen worden bereid. Een bereidingswijze met lichte grill of stoom accentueert de frisheid en de minerale finesse van deze wijn, waardoor elke hap en slok een harmonieuze ervaring wordt. |

225, The Wine Advocate
From three parcels with 50+-year-old vines plus a plot in the Haidviertel, the 2015 Grüner Veltliner Hommage was picked in the beginning of November and fermented and aged in a single 2,000-liter acacia vat until the bottling in April 2016. The wine opens with a noble and elegant, nicely intense bouquet. Round, mineral and very elegant on the palate, this Hommage reveals a remarkable finesse and lingering salinity in the complex finish. The wine is aromatic and powerful, revealing a lot of salinity and mineral finesse. Very promising.
R & A Pfaffl is a 100-hectare family domaine in the Weinviertel north of Vienna, and one of the pioneers of the DAC appellation for Grüner Veltliner. As in the rest of Austria, the summer of the 2015 vintage was very dry. Ten hectares of the new plantings had massive damage due to the drought, said Heidi Pfaffl, sister of winemaker Roman Pfaffl Jr. "We feared problems with tannins, but in the end everything went well." The harvest started mid-September and went until the beginning of November. There was one week of rain in the middle of October, forcing the family to thin out the Reserve wines due to rot.
Probably the finest wine of the 2015 collection, along with the Grüner Veltliner Hommage, is the Riesling Reserve Passion which has been produced for the first time. Further wines to watch: The Grüner Veltliners Hundsleiten and Goldjoch and the 2013 Chardonnay Grande Reserve Rossern.

In 1978, Roman and Adelheid Pfaffl became owners of Weingut Pfaffl at a young age in Stetten, a village just north of Vienna in the Weinviertel region. Before 1978, the Pfaffl farm was dominated by grain, potatoes, and livestock. A lot has changed in a short time. Today, Pfaffl is an international symbol for Grüner Veltliner. They have even been voted European Winery of the Year by Wine Enthusiast.
In forty years, Weingut Pfaffl has grown from 0.75 hectares to 110 hectares of vineyard. While the majority of the wines were first served in their local restaurant, wine lovers all over the world now drink wines from Pfaffl.
Today the winery is run by the enthusiastic Roman Pfaffl Jr. and Heidemarie Fischer. With over 1.4 million bottles on an annual basis, Pfaffl is a serious company, with a very high degree of professionalism. This is not only reflected in the wines, but also everything around it. Roman and Heidi have their affairs in order very well. Whether it's the website, the fast customer service, or the modern vineyard techniques, nothing is left to chance to create a total experience.
The vineyards of Pfaffl are spread over 12 villages with a very striking diversity in terroir. The different Grüner Veltliners that Pfaffl makes best reflect these terroir differences. For example, the Zeisen vineyard is even located on a 'Chablis-like' fossil substrate. Besides Grüner Veltliner, Pfaffl is known for its Gemischter Satz (several white grape varieties from one vineyard) and elegant red wines from Zweigelt and Pinot Noir.
Both in the business operations and the wines of Pfaffl, the core values of young, pure, and refreshing come into their own. Pfaffl was named Best Austrian Producer in 2022 by the Frankfurt International Trophy. Earlier this year they received the same award from Mundus Vini. Founder Roman Pfaffl meant so much to Austrian viticulture and in particular the Grüner Veltliner that he was nicknamed Mister Veltliner. His son Roman Pfaffl Jr. has followed in his footsteps and still fully lives up to that reputation.
