Wijnhuis Pfaffl – specialist in Grüner Veltliner and European Winery of the Year

The story of Weingut Pfaffl begins in 1978, when Roman and Adelheid Pfaffl took over the family business at a young age in Stetten, just north of Vienna. Where the farm previously revolved around grain, potatoes, and livestock, the focus shifted entirely to viticulture. Within a few decades, Pfaffl grew into one of Austria's most famous wineries.

Today, the name Pfaffl is an international symbol of Grüner Veltliner. The winery has received worldwide recognition and was named European Winery of the Year by Wine Enthusiast, a confirmation of its consistent quality and modern style. It remains a family business, with a strong focus on origin, freshness, and precision.

Region and vineyards – Weinviertel and Niederösterreich

Pfaffl is based in Lower Austria, Austria's largest wine-growing region. Within this region lies the Weinviertel, known as the homeland of Grüner Veltliner. The combination of loess soils, warm days, and cool nights results in grapes with fresh acidity and pronounced aromas. This terroir also forms the basis for the alcohol-free Primo 0%.

Non-alcoholic vinification – Verjus method

For the Primo Grüner Veltliner 0% Alcohol, Pfaffl does not use de-alcoholization, but a different technique. The grapes are harvested as early as the beginning of August, when they are still unripe and contain little sugar. The juice is pressed and filtered immediately so that fermentation cannot take place. As a result, no alcohol is produced. This unfermented grape juice is known as verjus.

To balance the high natural acidity, the juice is slightly diluted with water. It is then bottled. The result is a fresh, non-sweet drink with a wine-like character and a light pétillant.
