Oliver Zeter was born into a family of wine importers, and at first he too followed the family trade. But a trip to South Africa saw Oliver fall in love with the elegance and vivacity of Sauvignon Blanc and with the role of winemaker. He returned to the Pfalz and persuaded his cousins to hand over four hectares of vineyards, and so his estate began. There he has planted Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier (he likes to “swim against the current”), Riesling and Pinot Noir. And right from the get-go – 2007 – he has won awards. He now has seven vineyards of Sauvignon Blanc, each planted with a different clone, to lend complexity. Hand picked, oak fermented with wild yeasts and lees aged, this Sauvignon is "full-on, no apologies, exciting" (Hugh Johnson).
