Bloody Hill Villages Pinot Gris

Bloody Hill serves as the second label for renowned Yarra Valley winemaker Timo Mayer. Timo and his son Rivar collaborate on crafting these wines, personally selecting fruit and partnering with growers they've cultivated relationships with over the years. Notably, Rivar has introduced new plantings on the Mayer estate dedicated to Bloody Hill, and we eagerly anticipate their maturation! Starting from the 2020 vintage, the label now includes "Villages," reflecting the sourced fruit from chosen sites across the Yarra Valley.

A beautifully textured and expressive Pinot Gris, already showing impressive depth with the promise of further evolution.

Nose: Delicate potpourri, creamy lees, and subtle pastry-like notes create an inviting and layered aromatic profile.

Palate: Whole-bunch pressed and fermented in neutral barrels, this dry, skin-contact-free expression is round and viscous, delivering ripe yellow apple and vibrant citrus fruit. A touch of yeasty complexity adds intrigue, while the palate remains full and ample, balanced by a refreshingly clean, dry finish that lingers effortlessly.

A sophisticated and well-crafted Gris, offering both immediate appeal and the potential for further refinement with time.
