✨ wine.spec_sheet
In the sun-drenched vineyards of the Pfalz, where Mediterranean figs and almonds grow alongside vines, Oliver Zeter crafts a Weissburgunder of exceptional charm and character. Rooted in the region's nutrient-rich loess, clay, and limestone soils, this wine benefits from a unique microclimate shielded by the Haardt mountains. Zeter's winemaking philosophy shines through in his meticulous handling of the grape: a portion of the harvest undergoes gentle fermentation in large oak casks to impart a subtle, creamy texture and complexity, while the remainder is vinified in stainless steel to preserve the grape's natural, vibrant acidity and bright orchard fruit aromas. Adorned with the estate's signature whimsical bear—originally sketched by Pfalz artist Otto Dill for Oliver's great-grandfather—this Weissburgunder is a testament to modern Pfalz winemaking, blending historical family heritage with a fresh, contemporary approach to a classic European varietal.
🍾 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.
