Description
 
German-born, enigmatic winemaker Timo Mayer is one of the great characters of the Yarra Valley. The words bombastic, charismatic and wild are as much applicable to the man as his wines. 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.

You either like the 100% whole-bunch style, or you don't. It's polarizing. Here, in this 2021 Syrah from Mayer, it contributes a green olive, star anise, arnica, amaro mountain herbs and black tea edge to the aromatics, while the palate takes on a decidedly green, leafy, complex and structural form. There are notes of black cherries, lavender, mulch, thyme, sage, sandalwood and brine. There are top quality producers internationally that are known and successful proponents of the whole-bunch style, and many old-school Australian producers have proven that the low-alcohol red wines age with grace and ease... So, with these templates in mind, this is a very good and detailed example from both schools of making. Very good, indeed. 13% alcohol. Wine Advocate 95
