Description
In 1978, Roman and Adelheid Pfaffl became the owners of Weingut Pfaffl in Stetten, a village just north of Vienna in the Weinviertel - Lower Austria region, at a young age. Before 1978, the Pfaffl farm was all about growing grains, potatoes and keeping cows and pigs. A lot has changed in a short time. Today, Pfaffl is the international symbol for Grüner Veltliner. They have even been voted European Winery of the Year by Wine Enthusiast.
Lower Austria is the region around the capital Vienna and is the largest wine-growing region in Austria. Loess soils, warm days and cool nights. This is ideal for getting wines with character. Fruit but also nice acidity. The Chardonnay grapes are destemmed and crushed after picking. They undergo a 12-hour peel soak before being pressed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 19 degrees in stainless steel tanks.
The crispy fruity Sauvignon Blanc is light yellow in the glass with a green tinge. In the nose we smell gooseberries, freshly mown grass and a bit of citrus fruit. In the mouth the wine is sparkling, elegant and fruity with peach, gooseberry and green, spicy notes. A delicious glass to enjoy on its own and an excellent accompaniment to white fish in a green herb crust.

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.
