The 2007 Weissburgunder Nussen smells of apple blossom and diverse fresh herbs, comes to the palate juicy and forward, with just a hint of creaminess to its texture and of hazelnut, and finishes with lip-smacking generosity and a stimulating hint of apple pit bitterness, yet delicacy and refinement. This is delightfully ripe-tasting at only 12% alcohol. I suspect it will be best enjoyed over the next 18-24 months, even if strictly speaking it will keep longer. It might have been nice to have given this some cask time, seeing that the estate has so much excellent wood, but Pfaffl told me all of his barrels were taken, and Gruner Veltliner has to take priority over Pinot Blanc! Temporarily, the Provence of Ontario appears to be the only North American importer for the wines of Pfaffl, a circumstance that needs to change.
