The 'Tapps' Weiss from Oliver Zeter is a vibrant and approachable white blend that pays homage to the winery's whimsical bear mascot. The name 'Tapps' refers to the soft paw prints of a bear, linking back to a historic drawing of a bear gifted to Oliver's great-grandfather, Walter Baer, by the Pfalz artist Otto Dill. Sourced from selected vineyards in the sun-drenched Pfalz region, this wine is crafted to be fresh, aromatic, and uncomplicated. The region's diverse soils, combined with gentle stainless steel fermentation, preserve the bright fruit character and lively acidity of the grapes. It represents a modern, joyful expression of Pfalz winemaking, designed for casual gatherings and everyday enjoyment.

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.
