Production
The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Weinviertel. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of limestone and sandstone. After the hand harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are selected and carefully milled. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures. The vinification is followed by aging for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally drawn into bottles.
Tasting Notes
The Pfaffl Wien 2 wine is a fresh and elegant blend of Zweigelt and Pinot Noir from the Weinviertel region, in the north of Austria. A delicious combination of two red grapes that do so well in this part of Austria. From the Zweigelt we get sour cherry fruit character, a mineral backbone and some inky weight, while the Pinot Noir brings a sweeter strawberry fruit note, elegance of body and soft, lifted tannins. Sounds like a killer combination and it really is. After some of the wine spends a short time in used oak barriques, the finished product is quietly complex and perfectly balanced.
Excellent with meaty dishes, pork, veal, game and rich fish stews.
