✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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'.
