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 Gruner from its home territory. ——R.V.(11/15/2008)—— 92

This powerful, intense, wood-aged Gruner 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)—— 93
