Description
Classic Yarra Valley Chardonnay, made the Timo Mayer way—pure, focused, and unadorned.
Fermented and aged in old hogsheads for six months before moving to stainless steel, this Chardonnay is all about freshness and clarity. No malo, no lees stirring—just pristine citrus fruit, gentle mineral drive, and a touch of texture from time in barrel.
The 2024 vintage brings a little more flesh to the mid-palate, but the wine remains razor-sharp, with grapefruit, lemon zest, and a saline edge keeping things taut and lively.
It’s linear, precise, and built to age—but resisting the first bottle will be the hardest part.
95 points
"Scents and flavours of lemon curd, grapefruit, red apple juice, green mango, a touch of green almond and a big squeeze of lime. Dashes of sea spray and ginger here too. You could say generally there’s lots on here. A suggestion of parmesan cheese funk in the mix too. Slippery texture, some chalkiness to finish. Lots of great concentration and the palate staining length is impressive. A full on style done fully well."
