{"title":"Oliver Zeter","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOliver Zeter – Wines from the Palatinate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOliver Zeter essentially discovered wine and winemaking later in life. While wine has a tradition in his family, it was only in wine distribution, not in winemaking. It wasn't until he was 40 that Oliver Zeter, after an apprenticeship with Dr. Deinhard and studying viticulture in Geisenheim, started his own winery. Today, he cultivates 20 hectares of vineyards, 6 of which he owns and 14 are leased. He also buys grapes from befriended winemakers – he confidently calls himself a Négociant éleveur – which in France refers to a producer who buys grapes or wines, ages them in his cellar, bottles them, and markets them under his own name. In Neustadt an der Weinstraße, the winery is located in a villa built in 1922 as a wine commission house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOliver Zeter – Red Wine and White Wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOliver Zeter can do red and white, that's for sure. Above all, his love for Sauvignon Blanc, which he produces as a Gutswein (estate wine), Kabinett, sparkling wine, as Sauvignon Fumé, and as the sweet wine Sweetheart, is certainly responsible for the popularity of Zeter wines. However, red wines like the Cuvée Z and the Syrah also have their fan base. The vineyards from which Oliver Zeter processes grapes extend from Ungstein in the north down to Pleisweiler in the very south, along the Wine Route. The diversity of these Palatinate sites is unique; in terms of climate and soil, no two parcels are alike. Oliver Zeter's basic wines are all true to their varietal character in aroma; they are clear and crisp, showing freshness and fruitiness. The single-vineyard wines are complex characters with deep elegance and fine oak spice. And even the entry-level line, the \"kleine Bär\" (little bear), is wonderful to drink, an everyday wine of good quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"oliver-zeter-zero-hero-sauvignon-blanc-0","title":"Zero Hero Sauvignon Blanc 0%","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eZero Hero Sauvignon Blanc 0% from Oliver Zeter smells of passion fruit and kiwi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eZero Hero Sauvignon Blanc 0% from Oliver Zeter is a dealcoholized white wine from the Palatinate region that is initially pressed and fermented like any other white wine.

It begins as a real wine and ends up containing less than 0.5 percent alcohol. Anyone looking for a non-alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc that tastes like the grape variety will find yellow kiwi, passion fruit, and that racy green spice for which Sauvignon Blanc is loved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScented with yellow kiwi, passion fruit, and verbena\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven as it is poured, the Zero Hero smells of yellow kiwi, ripe passion fruit, and verbena, with an underlying racy green spice reminiscent of young pimientos. It is precisely this spice by which most wine lovers immediately recognize a Sauvignon Blanc. Oliver Zeter has crafted it here with crystal clarity, so that the grape variety is recognizable by its scent alone before the first sip is taken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the tongue, it is fresh, juicy, and serious, carried by an animating acidity that makes you crave the next sip. A touch of grape sweetness catches this acidity and returns some of the fullness that alcohol would otherwise provide. This makes it round while remaining lean—a Sauvignon Blanc with genuine varietal character from the first sip to the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSalad, goat cheese, and a long evening\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrispy leaf salads with fresh herbs, young goat cheese, and Asian appetizers with lime and cilantro are the natural partners for Zero Hero Sauvignon Blanc 0%. Its green spice picks up on the herbal notes, and the acidity easily keeps pace with citrus and fresh cheese. The delicate fruit also tempers the heat of chili peppers a little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChilled well at 8 to 10 degrees, its freshness comes through most clearly. The screw cap is easy to twist back on after opening if the bottle isn't finished the same evening.

For this, Oliver chose Sauvignon Blanc clones that bring a particularly high amount of that green, peppery spice, and let them grow in cool sites. Light leaf removal keeps the grapes in the shade so that this aroma is preserved, which would fade in the bright sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting takes place as early as the beginning of September, when the flavors have developed and the natural alcohol remains low. After that, the grapes lie on the skins for a short time, ferment chilled in stainless steel tanks, and rest on the lees for several months. Only then is the alcohol removed in a particularly gentle way, so that the complex aromas remain almost completely intact. The wine magazine Vinum rated the Zero Hero with 85 points; the winery simply says: \"A Sauvignon Blanc that shows its profile even without alcohol!\"\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its light blue screw cap and the large, fine zero on the white label, the bottle looks as fresh as the wine tastes.

The small, loosely-bunched grapes are pre-sorted for the first time directly in the vineyard. At the winery, 5-15% of the juice is then drawn off to make the must more powerful and the resulting red wine denser and richer. After fermentation in traditional red wine fermenters, a basket press is used for gentle pressing. Pumping is avoided; gravity is allowed to do its work. After about 12 months in used French oak barriques, the Oliver Zeter Pinot Noir 2023 is bottled without filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePinot Noir – a wine and its values\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Wine from Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion Pfalz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety 100% Spätburgunder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13.0% vol.

Flavors of black olives and ripe sloes resonate, combining into a dark, spicy depth, while its concentration holds the fruit together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter so many years in the bottle, the tannins of a robust red wine generally become rounded. The fruit usually recedes slightly, while spicy and earthy tones take center stage.

This heat-loving variety originates from the Rhône and requires soils that warm up quickly in the sun. The winery chose exactly these kinds of stony sites, open to the east and south, for its cultivation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for the 2014 vintage were fermented using traditional maceration, allowing the skins to impart color and tannins to the wine. Afterward, the young Syrah spent twelve months in wooden barrels, where it was slowly exposed to oxygen and gained structure. It was then bottled without fining and has been maturing ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt that time, Oliver Zeter produced only this single varietal Syrah.

A piece of aged mountain cheese at the end provides the salinity that complements the dark fruit well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the wine was bottled unfiltered, a fine sediment may have formed in the bottle over the years.

Fermentation begins there on its own, triggered by the natural yeasts from the grapes. As a result, it proceeds more slowly and with more complexity than with added cultured yeast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrels Oliver Zeter uses for this hold 300 and 500 liters, making them larger than the classic 225-liter barrique. In a larger barrel, every liter of wine has less contact with the wood, allowing the oak to contribute spice and a hint of smoke while the fruit of the grape variety remains at the forefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to Falstaff's 94 points, the 2023 vintage also received 93 points from Vinous and 91 points from the wine guide wein.plus.

The winery describes it on the palate as “fresh and light-footed, yet with a fine grip,” and it is precisely this blend of lightness and structure that defines every sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Germany, Pinot Noir is known as Spätburgunder and is considered one of the most demanding red grape varieties. Its thin-skinned berries are sensitive to weather and handling, which is why it requires a great deal of attention both in the vineyard and in the cellar. When successful, it displays a clear, cool fruit, and as a Spätburgunder from the Palatinate, this vintage brings exactly that to the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA portion of the juice is drained beforehand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards are scattered across the Southern Palatinate, mostly around the villages of Siebeldingen, Godramstein, and Nussdorf. The vines vary in age, with some having stood there for up to 30 years, and they are planted with different clones—variations of Pinot Noir. Yields are kept to a maximum of 8,000 kilograms of grapes per hectare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are pre-sorted in the vineyard, and in the cellar, the harvest passes through a sorting system once more. Before fermentation begins, Oliver Zeter’s team drains off a small portion of the juice. Because this results in more berry skins relative to the remaining juice, the future red wine gains power and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter fermentation, the mash is gently pressed, and the young wine matures for ten months in used French oak barriques. Used barrels impart less oak flavor than new ones, allowing the red fruit to remain at the forefront. It is bottled without filtration to ensure it retains its full flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDuck breast, salmon, and chanterelles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePan-seared duck breast, a piece of oven-baked salmon, or chanterelles in cream are among the dishes with which this Spätburgunder from the Palatinate excels.

It also pairs well with ripe soft cheese or oven-roasted tomatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt displays its fruit most clearly when served slightly cooler than other red wines, at 14 to 16 degrees Celsius.

Its sensory profile is very precise and distinctly mineral, allowing it to maintain its composure at the table, even when paired with more robust dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHours on the skins, long rest on the lees\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines for this Chardonnay from the Palatinate are located in several vineyards, mainly in the Southern Palatinate and right on the winery's doorstep in the Haardter Herzog. Trained in a flat arch, the grapes hang in a line, allowing air to circulate well through the grape zone. Green harvesting and manual canopy management keep yields in check so that the remaining grapes gain more expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the situation, the harvest is done either by hand or with a mechanical harvester. Afterward, the slightly crushed grapes spend a few hours on the skins so that the berry skins can impart their fine varietal aromas into the must.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority is fermented in stainless steel tanks, with a small portion in large wooden casks and a concrete egg. These small batches add creaminess and structure to the wine, while the steel keeps the fruit clear and bright. Subsequently, the young wine matured for a long time on the fine lees, which allowed it to become round, solid, and mature. This lees aging is the element that most strongly defines its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZander, herb risotto, and roast chicken\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its grip and herbal spice, it pairs well with pan-seared zander, a risotto with fresh herbs, or a roast chicken with lemon. The pear fruit complements light sauces, while the acidity makes butter and cream feel lighter. Pasta with chanterelles and plenty of parsley also finds a beautiful echo in its herbal spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServed slightly chilled, at about ten degrees Celsius, its creaminess opens up while the freshness remains intact. The screw cap makes it easy to save a little for the next day, allowing this Chardonnay from the Palatinate to accompany you for two evenings in a row.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who wish to stick with white Burgundy varieties, Oliver Zeter offers the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/oliver-zeter-weissburgunder-2025\"\u003eWeissburgunder 2025\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/oliver-zeter-grauburgunder-2025\"\u003eGrauburgunder 2025\u003c\/a\u003e.

With some time in the glass, a vital minerality emerges, giving it freshness and drive. Henris Weinguide also noted bright blossoms, cornelian cherry, and white currant, calling it lean, stimulating, and lighthearted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the tongue, it is dry, taut, and precise, carried by a clear structure and a salty minerality. The finish remains long, cool, and calm, with fine tension until the last sip.

This keeps the juice light, even though it comes from dark berries. At Oliver Zeter, the first juice that runs from the press by itself goes into the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/oliver-zeter-sekt-zero-grande-cuvee-2019\"\u003eZeró Grande Cuvée\u003c\/a\u003e sparkling wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly what flows subsequently under actual pressing pressure becomes the La Taille, as this portion is known in France.

Pan-seared scallops, veal tartare, or light poultry with lemon pair just as well, as its acidity highlights the delicate flavors on the plate. Even a light vegetable terrine with fresh herbs finds in it a quiet, reliable partner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you serve it as an aperitif, its freshness whets the appetite before the meal begins.
