Secco Blanc - Weingut Pfaffl

The Secco Blanc - Weingut Pfaffl shines straw gold in the glass, delicately interwoven with silver reflections and a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose it unfolds an inviting play of aromas of delicate vanilla, ripe pear and yellow apple, accompanied by a hint of fresh citrus zest and a touch of white blossoms. On the palate, the sparkling wine presents itself clear and taut, with a dry flavor profile, lively structure and precise, refreshing acidity. The perlage appears creamy, finely woven and lends the Secco an elegant lightness. Delicate tannin notes are absent; instead, a harmonious flow dominates, impressively carrying the fruit and vanilla notes.

The interplay of the varieties provides complexity without compromising the lightness of this sparkling wine. The regional character of Lower Austria is expressed in the clear fruit, the brilliant freshness and the straightforward, stylish nature of this Secco.

Production of Secco Blanc from Weingut Pfaffl

The grapes for Secco Blanc - Weingut Pfaffl come from selected sites in Lower Austria, one of Austria’s most renowned wine regions. The Pannonian-influenced climate brings warm, sunny days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to develop optimal ripeness and aromatic expressiveness. The soils consist predominantly of loess, sandy deposits and calcareous layers, which lend the wines structure, finesse and clear, precise fruit.

Harvesting is carried out selectively and with a focus on quality, in order to process only fully ripe, aromatic grapes. Careful grape selection directly in the vineyard and in the cellar guarantees pure aromas without distracting notes. The base wines are produced in cool stainless steel tanks, ensuring that freshness, fruit and varietal typicity are at the forefront. Fermentation temperatures are kept deliberately low so that the delicate vanilla and fruit notes of the cuvée are preserved with intensity.

After fermentation, the wine rests on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks, during which it develops additional creaminess and depth. This is followed by gentle sparkling, which brings out the characteristic fine perlage. The entire maturation process is deliberately carried out without the use of oak so that the radiant fruit of the white cuvée remains the focal point. For years, Weingut Pfaffl has stood for precise wines full of character with international appeal, impressively underscored by the award “Selection – Lust auf Genuss – Gold”. This Secco embodies the estate’s modern, elegant style: clear, fruity, brilliant and animating.
