ABOUT THIS WINE
The Mayer Nebbiolo 2019 is a red wine from the Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia, produced by Timo Mayer. This wine is crafted with a focus on minimal intervention, allowing the vineyard's character to shine. The grapes are sourced from a north-facing slope with Humevale siltstone soils. Mayer's winemaking approach emphasizes natural processes and letting the wine express its origin. The wine is unfined and unfiltered, reflecting a philosophy of minimal manipulation. This Australian expression of Nebbiolo is noted for its unique character, often drawing comparisons to the elegance found in Pinot Noir, a trait attributed to the cool climate of the Yarra Valley and Mayer's distinctive winemaking style.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mayer Nebbiolo 2019 is produced using 100% whole bunch fermentation, with a portion of the grapes undergoing carbonic maceration. Fermentation is initiated by wild yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is matured in seasoned hogsheads (old oak barrels) for a year, during which it remains on its lees. The wine is intentionally unfined and unfiltered, reflecting a winemaking philosophy focused on minimal intervention and allowing the inherent characteristics of the Nebbiolo grape and the Yarra Valley terroir to be expressed.
