2022DrMayerRemstalPinotNoir

Sans German born Timo Mayer, along with partner Rhonda Ferguson established Mayer in 1999, on the slopes of Mt Toolebewong, between Healesville & Woori Yallock. They produce a small range of hand crafted, single vineyard wines, believing that wines are made in the vineyard and not the winery. All wines are unfined and unfiltered to show the true expression of the vineyard.Vines are often close-planted, winemaking frequently utilises a generous use of whole bunch but most impressive is Timo’s cheerful, amusing nature. Timo showcases his German touch with this small-parcel Pinot Noir from Germany’s Remstal region, a picturesque pocket of Württemberg east of Stuttgart. Made in collaboration with his son River, this wine carries Timo’s signature flair—layered, textural, and unapologetically funky. Darker and richer than his Yarra Valley Pinots, it shows the influence of its cool-climate origins while still offering that whole-bunch spice and structure that defines his style. A striking expression of place, guided by a master of minimal intervention.Alc. 13.5%
