Winery - R&A Pfaffl
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Smooth, wood aged wine, rich and packed with soft tannins and dense black cherries and black berries. Hints of smoke from the wood, and powered through with acidity.

A blend of Merlot, Cab Sauvignon and Blauer Zweigelt, aged for 2 years in wood. The wood only underlines the richness of the black plum, bitter cherry and cocoa flavors. It is elegant, understated, wearing its power well. Age for 5–6 years.

The rustic flavors of St Laurent are here, with fruit that has leather tannins along with the acidity. Flavors of beetroot and spice round out the wine.

Fresh apple and pear flavored wine, very creamy, toasty almost, with only just a pinch of pepper to go with the richness of the fruit. A warm, rounded wine, easily finished with acidity. Screwcap.

Fine green fruit gives great freshness in this crisp, citrus and apple flavored wine, lightly softened with melon. Pure, clean, a lively, bright wine.

A bold Grüner Veltliner, with spice and minerality to go with the rich fruit. There is a steely edge that suggests the wine needs a year’s aging, to bring on greater richness. Big and impressive.

Medium sweet in style, but as fresh as possible in character, this is a delicious, perfumed wine, with white fruits, hedgerow-fresh berries and a pure line of acidity. Worth aging for a couple of years.

There is some wood here, particularly to smell, but it forms a seasoning for the intense concentrated flavors. Mandarin oranges and some smoky minerality are mixed in a creamy, rich blend. An impressive wine.

In keeping with a cool year, this ’04 has layered acidity, pepper and an intense lemon zest and light, poised flavors. It’s vivid, fresh and ready to drink.

This powerful, intense, wood-aged Grüner Veltliner is Pfaffl’s finest expression of the grape. It is opulent, rich, powerful, but intensely structured, the wood lending a counterpoint to the fresh acidity and pepper characters of the grape.
