Mayer Cabernet

Timo Mayer, the charismatic German-born winemaker, stands out as a Yarra Valley icon. Crafting wines at his 'Bloody Hill' vineyard, he opts for minimal oak and additives, favoring whole-bunch ferment. Timo's wines, now overseen by his talented son Rivar Mayer Ferguson, exude ethereal quality, firm tannins, and impeccable structure. The 2021 release marks the transition to "Bloody Hill" on the label, maintaining superb value. These limited gems narrate a captivating Yarra Valley tale.

Timo Mayer's Cabernet is a bold 100% whole-bunch creation, showcasing his uncompromising approach. Utilizing stalks and seeds along with skins imparts tannins and texture, reducing the need for heavy oak. The result is a fresher, more vibrant wine that doesn't demand extensive cellaring. This Cabernet is like a Ginsburg poem – slightly unconventional yet undeniably beautiful and thought-provoking. Give it a try; you might discover a newfound love for Cabernet in a way you never imagined.
