✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the Neustadter Nussriegel vineyard in Germany's sun-drenched Pfalz region, this single-vineyard Riesling captures the unique essence of a site historically named after the walnut trees ('Nussriegel' or walnut ridge) that thrived alongside the vines. The vineyard's south-facing slopes benefit from a warm microclimate, while the soils—composed of loess, loam, and limestone—endow the wine with a striking tension between ripe, juicy stone fruits and a deep, chalky minerality. Oliver Zeter vinifies this Riesling with minimal intervention, focusing on preserving the natural energy, precise acidity, and expressive fruit character that defines this exceptional terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 2007 by Oliver Zeter and his family, the Oliver Zeter winery is situated in Neustadt an der Weinstraße in the sun-drenched Pfalz region of Germany. Born out of a deep-seated passion for viticulture after years in the international wine trade, the estate gained swift acclaim, symbolized by the iconic 'drinking bear' caricature sketched by artist Otto Heinrich Strohmeyer in the 1930s. Oliver Zeter embraces a modern and meticulous approach to winemaking, championing parcel-specific vinification and selective oak aging to showcase the terroir's diverse sandstone, limestone, and loess soils. The winery is particularly celebrated as a pioneer of multifaceted Sauvignon Blanc in Germany, alongside pure, expressive bottlings of Grauburgunder, Riesling, and distinctive, age-worthy red blends such as 'Z'.
