A warm welcome
in the Weingut Pfeffel

Each year we try to create wines of captivating quality and mature finesse. The excelent climate of the Wachau and the predestined location of the our vineyard on the steep slopes along the Danube, provide us with the ideal means to achive that.

Interesting for guests of our hotel:From Monday – Saturday you have the opportunity to taste the variety of our wines in a blind tasting at the house bar from 9 p. m. , of course informative commented wine tastings can be booked and the chef of the house often finds time to offer dreamy vine walks in our vineyards right next to the hotel.

Wines & Assortment

The Winery

Our cellar is brand-new and therefor very functional. We are computer-assisted, but our wines are no “touch of a button” wines.  We want to keep the tradition of creative thinking, we want to react flexible and we want to rely on our own feelings. We are working cleanly and accurately, barely filter our wines and treat the grapes as gentle as possible.

It is fascinating to produce good wines! Better than that, is the determining moment of tasting one of those wines you have seen from the blooming – to the growing and ripening in the wine cellar.

With increasing success of the Winery, Leopold Pfeffel made his dream come true. 20 years ago he planted each grapevine by hand, now he is able to give his achievement to his children hands.

About 1,5 hectare vine area in outstanding vineyard sites is farmed by the Family Pfeffel. Varietal wines like Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Gelber Muskateller, Muskat Ottonell, Neuburger and Zweigelt are growing on our mostly steep slopes.

Especially the Riesling of the “Schreiberberg”, a south-south-east site with pure rock soil is very famous with our guests. Year by year this site is producing wines with accomplished ripeness and honest taste. The never ending care of the grapes, the organic possibilities of pest control, the gentle processing in the cellar, as well as the established  oenological knowledge are the the main thing to grow special wines. 

Good wine is more than pure pleasure because the bliss and joy while drinking a good wine enchants and remains in a romantic memory.
