NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Weingut R&A Pfaffl Grüner Veltliner vom Haus immediately greets the senses with a burst of fresh green apple and zesty lime aromas, underpinned by a subtle white pepper spice that's characteristic of the varietal.The palate is crisply dry, showcasing a racy acidity that brings energy to the flavors of ripe pear, lemon zest, and a unique vegetal note reminiscent of white asparagus. The wine's texture is smooth with a light body that makes it eminently quaffable, and it finishes with a clean, mineral-driven aftertaste that beckons for another sip. It's a quintessential summer sipper that pairs splendidly with fresh salads, seafood, or as a delightful aperitif.
