✨ wine.spec_sheet
Oliver Zeter's Riesling represents a modern, highly expressive take on the Pfalz's signature grape. Grown on the region's diverse soils—ranging from limestone and loess to colored sandstone—this wine benefits from the Pfalz's exceptionally warm, sunny microclimate, often referred to as the 'Tuscany of Germany.' Zeter, famous for his whimsical bear mascot (a tribute to a family drawing by artist Otto Dill), crafts this Riesling to showcase pure fruit and vibrant minerality. Vinified primarily in stainless steel to preserve its crisp, aromatic profile, it balances Pfalz's characteristic ripe stone fruit notes with a precise, refreshing acidity.
🍾 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.
