2019 Mayer Dr Pinot Noir

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.

Other Reviews....
All whole bunch, all the time. This is a blend of all major plots across the vineyards on the Mayer estate. “Stalky shit!”. Sour and sweet cherry aromas, green herb, whiffs of smoky jalapeno, white pepper. Fragrant thing. Crisp, crunchy texture, light on in weight in a way but packs in heaps of detail and flavour with fine webs of tannin, exceptional length. Tannins are pretty darn amazing, actually. I keep pausing on that thought. I love this wine.
