"Stalks are the best thing you can drink. Savoury. It takes away the sweet fruit."
Timo Mayer, Owner/winemaker
About The Wine
This is the wilder version of Pinot Noir from Yarra Valley cult favourite Timo Mayer.
The Dr. Mayer Pinot Noir is 100% whole bunch fermented, Timo using the extra stalk component to drag out addition tannin and texture. He has a particular affinity with stalkier Pinot Noir, you can hear his passion in the way he talks about it.
The 2020 is wildly aromatic, powerful and densely concentrated. Only tiny quantities made in the low-yielding 2020 vintage.
If Pinot Noir with swagger is your game, you need an appointment with the Doktor.
Timo Mayer
From his close-planted Yarra Valley vineyard, evocatively named 'Bloody Hill', Timo carves out some astounding wines made with low levels of new oak and minimal additions.
The signature of Timo's winemaking style is his penchant for whole-bunch ferment. His wines have an ethereal quality, firm tannins and impeccable structure.
These are compelling and extremely limited wines that tell a unique story of the Yarra Valley.
