Named in honor of the whimsical bear illustration created by Pfalz artist Otto Dill for Oliver Zeter's great-grandfather, Walter Baer, 'Der kleine Bär' Weiss is a joyful showcase of the estate's approachable winemaking philosophy. This vibrant white cuvée is crafted to be fresh, aromatic, and highly engaging. It typically marries the zesty, exotic fruit character of Sauvignon Blanc with the rounder, elegant stone fruit notes of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Fermented primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright primary fruit and crisp acidity, this wine reflects the sunny, moderate climate of the Pfalz region, offering an uncomplicated yet beautifully crafted drinking experience that pays homage to family heritage.
🍾 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.
