2025 Mayer Chardonnay

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, and winemaking frequently utilises a generous use of whole bunch.

Other Reviews...
Replanted on rootstock in '21, this is the first Mayer chardonnay from estate fruit since then. Bright green gold. Discreet aromas of white pear, a little citrus and yellow apple. Mouth-filling, gently textured and with racy acidity. Finishes chalky and long. Built to age superbly over the next six to seven years. Drink 2026-2032.

Picked early, hits the bottle with freshness.
Swift and fine boned, lots of chalkiness, a hazy green apple juice kind of feel, lots of perfume, refreshment factor writ large. A delicious, moreish expression. A vein of nougat and salted cashew. Poised, fine, vibrant. Nice one. Drink 2026-2030.
