96 Points, Halliday Wine Companion: "All estate grown with 30% whole bunches and matured in 15% new hogsheads. A light, bright ruby red. An opulent, floral and spicy bouquet where you barely detect the stems. Delicious as a young wine; red fruited and with silky, very nicely balanced tannins. A wine to drink before the '23, but it's also worth pointing out that Mayer's track record with this wine tells us that this will still be looking good five to seven years from now." - Philip Rich

Timo Mayer's Close Planted Pinot Noir is a Yarra Valley gem, highly coveted by enthusiasts. Grown on his intimate estate just 8km South of Healesville, it's a wine that often slips into obscurity due to overwhelming demand from devoted fans. This Pinot embodies a slightly wild and intriguing style, with the close plantings creating a vineyard battleground for natural resources, resulting in characterful and intense fruit. Don't miss the chance to experience one of the Yarra's most unique wines – the Close Planted is exceptional, reflecting both individuality and excellence.
