- TASTING NOTE: "From the De Bortoli vineyard in Dixons Creek and planted in '98 when winemaker Timo Mayer was still working there. 100% whole bunches, no new oak. A light, bright cherry red. Gently perfumed with its bouquet of red cherries, rose petals and a little spice. Light to medium bodied, the tannins are gently chewy and long, demanding that this gets drunk with a bowl of pasta with whatever sauce takes your fancy. Or pizza!." 93 Points - Phillip Rich, Halliday
- ABOUT THE WINE: 100% whole bunch Sangiovese from Dixon's Creek.
- 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.
