- TASTING NOTE: "Super peppery, herbal scents, a good sense of Aussie bush, a backdrop of cassis, lavender, plum. Surprisingly juicy in the palate yet tightens on ribs of emery board tannin. More herbs, a touch of mint, brined green olives, juicy blackcurrants, just-ripe plum and anise following through. It’s a wild card, but prosecutes its case well. An eccentric wine in the best sense." 93 Points - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
- ABOUT THE WINE: 100% whole bunch Cabernet!
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: 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.
