Description
The Timo Mayer winery surely sits on top of the most beautiful viewpoint in the entire Yarra Valley, between Healesville and Woori Yallock. German born into a wine making family in Wuerttemberg, wine is in Timo’s blood, but he made his own way here in the Yarra valley. Working with many Iconic wineries in the past, Timo’s style of wine has been recognised as one the most interesting to emerge in Australia for the last decade or more. His use of whole bunch fermentation is legendary! While his reputation continues to grow, his vineyard sites do not, so year after year we are faced with the difficulty of providing wine to an ever growing audience as his wines are also in high demand in the US as well as Europe and Japan.
The 2019 Vintage was superb: a marginally drier year produced a lower crop, grapes with thick skins, less juice and firm tannins . The concentration of the wines is magnificent and the colour is a bit darker than usual. Harvest started in the first week of March with Pinot noir and finished with the Syrah on the Bloody Hill at the end of the month. The later ripening Varieties were harvested in April. We have some great new additions this year, a Merlot from St Huberts Road on the Valley Floor and a Sangiovese near Dixons Creek further north.
Another new wine from Dixon Creek. This wine has come together after some time in bottle Complex still very tight nose of fresh bright cherries. On the palate this is a fruit forward spicy bright Sangiovese, with lovely clean fruit and firm tannins.
Very smart offering – depth of fruit, good length and sense of purity make this a pleasure to drink .
