2019 Mayer Nebbiolo

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....
Fruit sourced from De Bortoli’s vineyard in Yarra Valley. “Mezcal wine!”, explains Timo Mayer. Bright garnet colour. Strong rose hip tea elements with raspberry tang. Great tannins here. Epic even. Has this beautiful delicacy to the wine but also lots of dark fruit flavour and layers of sweet earthiness and herbal notes. Wicked wine here. Has so much character and structure, even with most of the fruit subdued under firm, satiny tannin and acid. Enthusiasts, run.
