Mayer, Pinot Noir 'Dr. Mayer' Yarra Valley 2024

This is a fantastically expressive, super terroir focused, delicious Pinot Noir. Timo Mayer is a big fan of whole bunch pressing, which he pulls off with great aplomb in the Dr. Mayer, his most recognised label. It has ethereal yet intense, juicy, crunchy strawberry and cherry fruit layered through with attractive herbal sappiness, peppery earth and freshness. Grown on the steep slopes of his "Bloody Hill" vineyard, this is Yarra Valley at its best, from one of its most legendary winemakers, who happens to be German born. All his wines are super sought after and small production, and not to be missed.
