Production of Grüner Veltliner Landwein 1.0 l from Weingut Pfaffl

The grapes for Grüner Veltliner Landwein 1.0 l - Weingut Pfaffl come from carefully selected sites in Lower Austria. This traditional wine-growing region north of Vienna is characterized by a Pannonian-influenced climate with warm days and cool nights. These temperature differences promote slow ripening of the grapes and intensify the aromatic spectrum.

The soils in the Pfaffl vineyards range from sandy and loess-influenced parcels to calcareous subsoils. This diversity shapes the vitality of the vines and supports the interplay of fruit, spice, and minerality in the finished wine. Light soils provide freshness and drinking flow, while loess and limestone add fullness and structure.

The harvest is carried out carefully, with a focus on aromatic, fully ripe but not overripe grapes. Only grapes that appear intact make their way to the cellar, where each batch is handled gently. Soft pressing preserves the fine aromas of the berries and prevents coarse phenolics. The musts are clarified gently so that the later wine can express its clear fruit.

Maturation takes place entirely in stainless steel tanks. This type of vinification preserves the primary fruit, the crisp acidity, and the varietal typicity of Grüner Veltliner. Fermentation temperatures are kept deliberately moderate so that the fresh citrus aromas and the fine notes of apple and pepper are retained. The absence of wood emphasizes the purist, fruity-spicy character.

After fermentation, the wine rests for a certain time on the fine lees. This contact lends it additional harmony, a gentle creaminess, and a rounded mouthfeel without impairing its lightness. Weingut Pfaffl pursues a style that focuses on freshness, clarity, and drinking pleasure. The winery’s style appears modern, precise, and origin-focused, with a clear emphasis on varietal fruit and elegant structure.
