Wien.1 - Weingut Pfaffl

In the glass, Wien.1 - Weingut Pfaffl shines in a clear, radiant straw yellow with delicate, silvery shimmering reflections. The color appears inviting and elegant. Already with the first swirl, a fine bouquet rises, typical of Riesling from Lower Austria and at the same time expressing a modern, urban style.

On the nose, juicy stone fruits, ripe peaches and zesty citrus notes appear, underpinned by a subtle hint of vanilla. This vanilla comes across as refined, never intrusive, and is reminiscent of delicate pastry aromas. A touch of white blossoms and fine herbal spice complements the bouquet and lends additional depth.

On the palate, the wine presents itself dry and precise. The fresh acidity carries the fruit with a taut line and lends the Riesling an energizing tension. The texture feels silky, with a slight pull on the palate, while the fruit is dominated by lemon, lime and white peach. A delicate vanilla tone accompanies the finish and gives the wine a fine, almost creamy melt.

The structure appears straightforward and focused. The lively acidity forms the backbone, while fine mineral hints from the sandstone soil provide clarity and grip. Tannins, as is typical for white wine, appear only very discreetly; in return, the length is impressive. The finish comes across as fresh, fruit-driven and pleasantly citrus-spicy.

This Riesling comes from the renowned winegrowing region of Lower Austria, more precisely from the surroundings of the metropolis of Vienna. Weingut Pfaffl produces vibrant, characterful white wines here that impressively reflect the cool nights and warm days of the region.

Production of Wien.1 from Weingut Pfaffl

The grapes for Wien.1 - Weingut Pfaffl come from carefully selected sites in Lower Austria, near the city of Vienna. The climate here is continental, with warm days and cool nights during the ripening phase, which favors the development of intense aromas. The vines take root in sandstone soils that offer excellent water permeability and allow the vines to root deeply.

The sandstone lends the Riesling a clear, mineral streak. The vines stand on well-ventilated soils that store warmth and release it slowly at night. This interplay of day-night temperature differences and soil structure shapes the wine’s characteristic style: focused, fruit-driven, with invigorating tension.

The harvest is carried out selectively; only grapes with optimal ripeness find their way to the winery. Careful hand-picking enables strict selection already in the vineyard, so that only fully ripe, aromatically dense grapes are processed. The grapes reach the cellar quickly and as intact as possible in order to preserve the freshness of the harvest.

At the winery, gentle pressing follows, releasing only the finest fraction of the must. The Riesling then ferments in stainless steel tanks. This method of maturation preserves the clear fruit and the varietal-typical aromatics in particularly pure form. The temperature during fermentation remains cool, which supports the development of intense peach and citrus notes.

After fermentation is complete, the wine rests on the fine lees for a certain period. This fine-lees aging imparts additional creaminess and depth without overshadowing the freshness. The winemaking style of Weingut Pfaffl here follows a line between precision and drinking pleasure: crystal-clear fruit, lively acidity, elegant structure.

Before bottling, gentle filtration is carried out so that the wine flows into the glass brilliant and clear, while retaining its aromatic diversity. Every phase of vinification aims at a harmonious overall picture with a high recognition value.

Serving recommendations for Wien.1 from Weingut Pfaffl

Wien.1 - Weingut Pfaffl pairs excellently with fine, light-colored and delicate dishes. The fresh character of the Riesling highlights subtle aromas and offers an appealing complement on the palate.

• Fish dishes such as grilled pike-perch or trout

For optimal enjoyment, a serving temperature of around 7 to 9 degrees Celsius is recommended. If too cold, the wine reveals its aromas only reticently; if too warm, it loses some of its zest and clarity.

With appropriate storage in a cool, dark room with a constant temperature, Wien.1 from Weingut Pfaffl develops additional nuances. Subtle maturity notes with hints of honey, dried herbs and more complex citrus tones enrich the aroma spectrum. At the same time, the lively acidity structure remains as the backbone.
