Pfaffl Gruner Veltliner Weinviertel Zeisen

This white wine from Pfaffl is a Gruner Veltliner, but a Single Vineyard. In other words, the grapes from the Weinviertel Zeisen vineyard are of such exceptional quality that Roman Pfaffl aims to create a top-notch wine from them. And he certainly succeeded, a truly beautiful piece of craftsmanship. The old Zeisen vineyard is over 45 years old and now produces very powerful and deep bunches. The climate is unique because a large forest lies adjacent to the vineyard, resulting in significant variations in day and night temperatures. Afternoons are very warm and nights very cool, making for a very uneventful growing season.

Austrian wines for enthusiasts

The Pfaffl winery in the Weinviertel region is innovative and down-to-earth. Despite its size, encompassing no less than 67 hectares of vineyards in Lower Austria and Vienna, it is a family business with a unique charm. The five-member Pfaffl family is behind the region's top wines. Siblings Roman, Elisabeth, and Heidemarie work with their parents Roman and Adelheid on their wines with enthusiasm and dedication. Their years of experience and forward-thinking have resulted in a range that is appreciated not only in Austria but also impresses wine connoisseurs worldwide.

Low yield for this Weinviertel Zeisen

The Zeisen grapes don't produce many Gruner Veltliner grapes, but they are very powerful and hand-harvested. The full-bodied, powerful juice is gently released through low-pressure pressing and then aged for several months. The aroma offers a full-bodied aroma of citrus fruit, light spices, a touch of white pepper, and a hint of grapefruit. The palate is fresh and soft, with a crisp, green apple and citrus fruit attack. The finish offers lovely notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and a touch of white pepper. If you're looking for a fuller-bodied Gruner Veltliner, definitely consider this Weinviertel Zeisen from Roman and Adelheid Pfaffl.
