Oliver Zeter Pinot Noir Reserve

Grape:100% Pinot Nior 

Region:Pflaz, Germany 

Alochol: 13%

The quality and character of our Pinot Noir Réserve reflect three distinctly different sites. The first is the Bergei in Edenkoben, a southfacing vineyard with exceptional vine material from Burgundy, as well as two sites with old vines on calcareous soil in the Münzberg district in Godramstein and the Im Sonnenschein district in Siebeldingen. The grapes are hand harvested at optimal ripeness, hand sorted, and only partially destemmed before maceration and fermentation in small wooden vats. Remontage is conducted no more than twice daily, also by hand. The mash is pressed after a maximum of 12 days.The wine receives its elegance through aging in 500Ltonneaux and 228L barrels with oak from forests across the Pfalz, Vogesen, and Allier. The share of new oak is limited to 25%, to support perfect balance between fresh fruit and subtle wood spice. Bottling is conducted without fining or filtration, after which the wine ages for at least 12 months in the bottle before release onto the market.
