Description

This is Bloody Hill Rosé, Mayer-style - Syrah picked off the Coldstream home block, given just a night on skins, then pressed and sent straight to barrel for a slow, wild ferment.

It’s pale, dry and demure, full of red berries, spice and a faint herbal edge that keeps it fresh. This is delicate and barely blushed, with crisp, lively fruit and a lovely, gentle texture from the barrel work.

Made by Rivar Ferguson-Mayer, it’s the sort of rosé you'll open a second bottle without thinking twice. Light, savoury and moreish, it’s built for balcony afternoons, park picnics or wherever good company happens to be.

The Wine Front 91 Points

Pale pink with a salmon hue. Soft, lightly creamy, just-ripe raspberry/strawberry fruitiness, some vanilla and dash of cinnamon. Faint green almond savouriness too. Lots of flavour and still sits in a lighter weight (yet textural) form. Perhaps just a bit underpowered to take it to the next level, feeling a touch watercolour painted.

Timo Mayer

German-born, enigmatic winemaker Timo Mayer is one of the great characters of the Yarra Valley. The words bombastic, charismatic and wild are as much applicable to the man as his wines.

From his close-planted Yarra Valley vineyard, evocatively named 'Bloody Hill', Timo carves out some astounding wines made with low levels of new oak and minimal additions. The signature of Timo's winemaking style is his penchant for whole-bunch ferment. His wines have an ethereal quality, firm tannins and impeccable structure.

These are compelling and extremely limited wines that tell a unique story of the Yarra Valley.
The Bloody Hill range is now the responsibility of Timo's talented son Rivar Mayer Ferguson, and has dropped the Mayer on the label from the 2021 releases. They continue to be superb value wines.
