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, favouring 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. Sourced from the picturesque Gembrook Vineyard, this Tempranillo showcases Tim’s signature Midas touch, crafted with whole-bunch fermentation for depth and finesse. Vibrant and full of energy, it bursts with juicy fruit and layered savoury notes, complemented by a hint of spice. A fine tannin structure ties it all together, delivering a beautifully balanced and expressive wine.
