The fruity parts of the bouquet are joined by black tea, vanilla and oriental spices. This dry white wine from Kellerei Schreckbichl is ideal for wine lovers who like it fresh and fruity. The Pfefferer was vinified with just 6 grams of residual sugar. On the palate, this light and spicy white wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture.

The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes from the soils dominated by sandstone and limestone.
