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.
Timo received the fruit for this wine from the famous Lusatia park Vineyard which is a north-facing block that was planted in 1985. The Soils are red Basalt and high in iron content. It has a bright cherry and strawberry nose with savoury earth/forest notes. Juicy and delicious on the palate with soft-textured fruit, smoke, and meaty notes as well as fine-grained tannins. Finishes with bright pomegranate fruit and good acidity.
Review of 2021:
95 points, Phillip Rich for Halliday Wine Compannion “The pinot for this new range was sourced from Lusatia Park. 100% destemmed and matured in 300L French oak hogsheads (25% new). At the more delicate end of the Yarra pinot spectrum, but not lacking depth or structure either. There are aromas of cranberries, pomegranate, strawberries and delicate spice. The palate is equally pretty, with fine, chalky tannins rounding out a wine that, while good now, will become even more complex in another 2 or 3 years.”
