Production of Nuss Weissburgunder from Weingut Pfaffl

The grapes for this Weißburgunder come from carefully selected sites in Lower Austria. The Pannonian-influenced climate pampers the vines with warm days and cool nights. These temperature differences intensify the play of aromas in the grapes and ensure an impressive balance of ripeness and freshness.

Loamy soils have a tangible impact on the character of the wine. They store water and warmth excellently and provide the vines with stability and a steady supply. As a result, the Weißburgunder develops impressive concentration without losing its elegance. The nut character comes to the fore particularly clearly under these conditions.

Harvesting is carried out carefully and selectively; only grapes with optimal physiological ripeness reach the winery. Only flawlessly selected fruit is pressed, in order to preserve the delicate aromas of walnut, pear and stone fruit in an unadulterated way. Gentle pressing draws only the finest must fractions, while coarse bitter substances are consistently left behind.

Maturation takes place exclusively in stainless steel tanks, temperature-controlled and reductive. This keeps the focus clearly on fruit, nut spice and varietal purity. The wine undergoes a slow, controlled fermentation that preserves the typical varietal aromatics while creating structure. Afterwards the wine rests on the fine lees, which gives it additional creaminess and a delicate melt on the palate.

The style of Weingut Pfaffl is revealed here in its purest form: clean lines, precise fruit, distinctive origin and a striking, unmistakable nut tone. Maturation in stainless steel underscores the modernity of the style, while the loam soils provide depth and substance. The result is a Weißburgunder that impressively combines sophistication and drinking pleasure.
