98 Points, Halliday Wine Companion "From an east-facing slope at 200m and picked a week later than the Mayer pinot; 100% whole bunches. A very bright crimson purple. A great year for this idiosyncratic wine. Complex aromas of wild strawberry, a little morello cherry, warm spice and peony. You barely notice the whole bunches. A generous Dr Mayer that saturates the palate. Ripe, very persistent tannins round out a wine destined to age superbly over the next 10–12 years." - Philipp Rich, June 2026
95 Points, The Wine Front "Serious pinot noir, energetic, a real approachability and open weave yet all the detail of tannin, savoury elements, fruit, spice, herbs. Pleasure zones hit."- Mike Bennie
Description
Dr. Mayer is Pinot Noir with a wilder streak—bold, structured, and driven by Timo’s signature whole-bunch fermentation. In 2024, the warmer ripening season brought a little more fruit weight, but make no mistake—this is still a savoury, stalky, and structured Pinot.
Timo backed off the whole-bunch component this year to just 30% due to the extra power already inherent in the vintage. Expect layers of dark cherry, cranberry, and spice, wrapped in fine, detailed tannins that stretch long across the palate. It's a great vintage of this wine, ready to drink but also perfect for the cellar.
Wildly aromatic, deeply expressive, and made in tiny quantities. If you like Pinot with tension and bite, step into the Doktor’s office.
