In Austria, a frequently used and variety-specific characterisation for the spicy and peppery taste of a white wine, especially from the grape variety Grüner Veltliner. In Germany, "Pfefferl" is also a synonym for the Riesling variety and "Pfeffer" or "Pfeffertraube" for the Italian Verdicchio Bianco grape variety.
The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
