R&A Pfaffl 2001 Terrasen Sonnleiten Riesling (Weinviertel)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $18
A wine full of fragrant alpine mountain aromas, of fresh air and open spaces. The palate has fresh acidity with a touch of pepper and fine, elegant fruit. At the finish there is the flavor of white currants.  — R.V.  (11/1/2002)

R&A Pfaffl 2010 Hundsleiten Grüner Veltliner (Weinviertel)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $31
Top 100 Cellar Selections 2011
Rich, smooth and opulent wine from the top Hundsleiten vineyard. It is driven by a taut line of acidity that is surrounded by ripe pear and melon flavors and a rounded, concentrated texture. Fruit is right to the fore in a refined way, and pepper on the finish.  — R.V.  (10/1/2011)

R&A Pfaffl 2005 Goldjoch Grüner Veltliner (Niederösterreich)

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.  — R.V.  (8/1/2007)

R&A Pfaffl 2004 Terrassen Sonnleiten Riesling (Niederösterreich)

To say acidity dominates this wine is praise rather than condemnation. For this acidity comes from wonderful fresh fruits, intensely flavored white currants, and a steely poise that cuts right through.  — R.V.  (10/1/2006)

R&A Pfaffl 2003 Heidrom Red (Niederösterreich)

  • Cellar Selection
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.  — R.V.  (10/1/2007)

R&A Pfaffl 2008 Hundsleiten Grüner Veltliner (Niederösterreich)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $32
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.  — R.V.  (12/31/2009)

R&A Pfaffl 2007 Goldjoch Grüner Veltliner (Niederösterreich)

  1. $50
With the extra crispness of the 2007 vintage, this wine has lost its usual opulent character, but it has gained a great definition of structured fruit and flavors of cream, caramel, spice and pear. A benchmark Grüner from its home territory.  — R.V.  (11/15/2008)
