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.

Summon your pizzas, draw your pasta from the skies, exhume your charcuterie.
Silky, satiny, super perfumed. Charisma plus. Vibrant red cherry, touches of maraschino, sweet spice, cola, cranberry, sarsaparilla going on here; kinda explosive, then, in the same breath, this feels tempered with lacy tannins and chalky pucker that extends through the lively squirt of blood orange tang. This has great mojo. It’s not just fun, it pushes an agenda about fine wine in Australia from the variety with its multi-layered vibe. Pleasure zone stuff. Drink 2025 - 2035.
