2023 Mayer Volcanic 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.
Part of a new range started with the 2021 vintage, the fruit for this Chardonnay is purchased from the Lusatia Park vineyard in Woori Yallock, in the volcanic terrains of the Upper Yarra Valley.
This is a lean, refreshing and minerally-driven expression of Chardonnay, more akin to a white Burgundy (Chablis-bound) rather than a rich and buttery Californian counterpart.
