Mayer The Dr Mayer Remstal Riesling

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.

Crisp, clean, and infused with the racy acidity and stony minerality characteristic of the region, this Riesling is cellar-worthy. Sourced from Timo Mayer's original family vineyard in Remstal, Baden, it reflects the region where Timo discovered his passion for wine. Aromatically pleasing, it boasts a round, lush body with peach and ginger undertones. Despite its dryer style with around 6 g/L of residual sugar, the wine finds balance through a lively acidity, resulting in a refreshing and dry finish. Perfect for pairing with most Asian dishes, and personally recommended for enjoying with fresh seafood.
