2024 Timo Mayer Syrah

Timo Mayer’s Syrah is one of the Yarra Valley’s best-kept secrets—made in tiny quantities and showcasing the variety’s finesse in this cool-climate region. It may be Timo's best wine each year, though the Pinots and Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, etc tend to steal the show. The Syrah is one of those if-you-know-you-know wines. Especially in 2024...

Sourced from a small parcel on the upper slopes of the Mayer Bloody Hill vineyard, this is Syrah with lift, spice, and structure. Fermented with 100% whole bunches, it’s layered with dark berries, cracked pepper, and a ferrous, earthy depth.

The 2024 vintage brings a little more weight and generosity, yet it remains finely detailed, with silky tannins and a long, savoury finish.

For lovers of perfumed, spice-driven Syrah, this is a must-try—but don’t wait too long.
