Roman Pfaffl’s 2007 Gruner Veltliner Haidviertel displays a measure of clarity and stony and savory, saline dimensions of minerality that set it apart from the Zeiseneck, which was picked at around the same time. Green bean, lentil, and lime are accented by bitter hints of fruit pit, and this finishes with rather austere but refined and penetrating length. It should evolve nicely for at least 3-4 years in bottle. Temporarily, the Provence of Ontario appears to be the only North American importer for the wines of Pfaffl, a circumstance that needs to change.
