✨ Technical Specifications
Oliver Zeter's Perlage Rosé is a vibrant, sparkling expression of the Pfalz region's modern winemaking renaissance. Crafted as an inviting, fruit-forward sparkling rosé, it captures the playful yet meticulous spirit of the Zeter estate. The wine is characterized by its fine, dancing bubbles and a bright bouquet of fresh red berries. The Pfalz region, with its warm, almost Mediterranean microclimate shielded by the Haardt mountains, provides the perfect conditions for retaining fresh acidity while achieving optimal ripeness. This bottling represents Zeter's philosophy of crafting accessible, high-quality wines that bring joy to the table, adorned with the iconic bear illustration that pays homage to Oliver's family history.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2007 by brothers Oliver and Christian Zeter in the Mittelhaardt village of Neustadt-Haardt, Weingut Oliver Zeter is celebrated as a transformative force in modern German viticulture. Following apprenticeships in Italy, South Africa, and the Pfalz estate Dr. Deinhard, Oliver returned to his family's wine roots to champion grape varieties unconventional for the region, most notably Sauvignon Blanc alongside classic Riesling and Chenin Blanc. Sourced from limestone-rich slopes in Haardt Herzog and marl-sandstone terroirs across top parcels such as Kallstadter Saumagen, the vineyards benefit from the protective rain shadow of the Haardt hills. In the cellar, Zeter balances precise temperature-controlled stainless steel with wooden casks, concrete vessels, and amphorae to fashion textured, mineral-driven whites marked by vibrant acidity. The estate's whimsical mascot—a wine-drinking bear sketched by Palatinate artist Otto Dill—adorns benchmark labels such as the barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc, Le Moelleux Chenin Blanc, Saumagen Riesling, and the luscious botrytised Goldschatz TBA.
