"What is left to say about Timo Mayer, aside, he keeps on making outstanding,
fascinating, wonderful wines. There's the howling at moon, baying at the wind,
shirt tearing and pant splitting stuff, of course, and his incredible, unique
site"
Winefront Australia

Nathan visited Timo Mayer on a Saturday lunchtime at his winery on the Bloody
Hill in the Yarra Valley. Timo grew up in the village of Fellbach, near
Stuttgart (the same village as our rock star pinot winemaker Rainer Schnaitmann)
and learned his craft there before emigrating to Australia in the 1990's. The
Bloody Hill 'it's called that 'cause it's bloody steep.

Timo's production is in line with organic practices, and the wines are bottled
without fining or filtration. These are cool climate wines with great purity,
elegance and intensity and they've found a cult following amongst critics and
sommeliers. The Nebbiolo is a new departure, taking advantage of the climatic
conditions and soil to make wine from this tricky grape.
