Markus Pfaffmann Sauvignon Blanc dry

A Sauvignon Blanc that takes no detours: fresh, spicy and with the clear signature of the southern Palatinate.

The Karl Pfaffmann winery is one of the established names in the Palatinate wine region. The family cultivates their vineyards with a focus on varietal, characterful wines – and the Sauvignon Blanc is a good example of how this internationally widespread grape variety finds its own unique voice in the Palatinate: somewhat riper in fruit than in the Loire, but with the same aromatic clarity.

In the glass, it displays the typical aromas of the variety: gooseberry, green apple, a hint of freshly cut grass, and a subtle herbal spice in the background. On the palate, it is lively – the acidity is present but not harsh, giving the wine its fresh character. The finish is dry, spicy, and pleasantly lingering. Not a heavy wine, but one that whets the appetite.
