Mayer

Timo is a small producer of hand crafted, single vineyard wines.He believe that wines are made in the vineyard and therefore try to interfere as little as possible. The red wines are unfined and unfiltered to show the true expression of the land.
His aim is to make wines with a point of difference. Bring back the funk!! TIMO MAYER

Timo Mayer, also winemaker at Gembrook Hill Vineyard, teamed with partner Rhonda Ferguson to establish Mayer Vineyard on the slopes of Mt Toolebewoong, 8 km south of Healesville. The steepness of those slopes is presumably ‘celebrated' in the name given to the wines (Bloody Hill). There is just under 2.5 ha of vineyard, the lion's share to pinot noir, and smaller amounts of shiraz and chardonnay – all high-density plantings. Mayer's winemaking credo is minimal interference and handling, and no filtration.
