Named after the whimsical bear mascot that has defined the Zeter estate—inspired by a historical sketch sent to Oliver's great-grandfather, Walter Baer, by the Pfalz artist Otto Dill—'Der Kleine Bär' Rosé is a delightful, easy-going expression of the Pfalz region's modern viticulture. Sourced from vineyards nestled in the sunny, sheltered foothills of the Haardt mountains, this rosé is crafted from a blend of classic red varieties. The grapes undergo a gentle pressing and cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the bright, primary fruit aromas and crisp, refreshing acidity that define its youthful character.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 2007 by Oliver and Birgit Zeter in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, the Oliver Zeter winery has quickly become a benchmark producer in Germany's Pfalz region. Renowned for pioneering and elevating Sauvignon Blanc in a region traditionally dominated by Riesling, Zeter utilizes diverse vinification methods, including oak barriques, amphorae, and concrete eggs, to craft wines of striking individuality. The estate's whimsical bear mascot, illustrated by Pfalz artist Otto Dill for Oliver's great-grandfather, adorns every bottle, symbolizing their passion and approachability. Beyond their signature Sauvignon Blancs, the winery produces outstanding Pinot Noir, Riesling, and the popular, easy-drinking 'Tapps' range.
