Mayer The Doktor Pinot Noir 2025

Our Verdict

Bring back the funk - that is the winemaking philosophy of owner Timo Mayer and it is reflected in his wines which are full of personality and character.



The wines are defined by vineyard character and vintage with the winemaking taking a backseat to nature. Originally from Germany, Timo and wife Rhonda setteled in the Yarra Valley and planted a vineyard on their beautiful property which is located outside Healesville.

"All whole bunch, all the time. No new oak. The cloak of greenery, the peppery elements, the sizzle of graphite and slate-like minerality, dark cherries, a firmness and length to tannin structure in a skeletal, fine way. Serious pinot noir, energetic, a real approachability and open weave yet all the detail of tannin, savoury elements, fruit, spice, herbs. Pleasure zones hit." 95 Points - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front

All wines are exceedingly limited.
