Oliver Zeter and his brother Christian produced their first vintage in 2007. Oliver is a maverick winemaker not bound by family traditions. Above Neustadt, on the edge of the village of Haardt, a new home has been found for the winery. A carefully renovated charming and characterful building, built in 1922 from local sandstone, originally the offices of a bulk wine trader. Riesling is sourced from three vineyards on the Mittelhaardt. Its raciness and polish comes from grapes grown in the coloured sandstone and loess soils of the Haardt and Mußbach. Those grapes grow on calcareous marl, known for producing powerful wines of mineral finesse and tremendous length. The berries are run slowly and gently through a pneumatic tank press. Thanks to natural sedimentation, the fresh must clarifies on its own. Fermentation then takes place in stückfass barrels and stainless steel at approx. 18°C, at a slow pace to preserve and enhance the fruit. After approx. six months on the fine lees, the wine is then bottled unfined and only gently filtered. A modern dry Riesling with lime flavours, racy acidity and vibrant.
