If you want to know what the expect from any of Timo Mayer's wines, go to his quirky little website. It's a one-pager with a simple wine-making belief statement, and a note they don't do barcodes. Basically if you want a funky-tasting, salt-of-the-earth wine, try this one.

The 2013 Bloody Hill Pinot Noir is
pretty up there as a stellar example of an earthy, savoury wine. There is no filtration and minimal handling of the grapes, so what you end up with in your glass is a good dose of the Yarra Valley.

On the palate are distinct tastes of tangy rhubarb and cherry, lifted with spicy notes. Despite not using whole bunches in this wine, there is still a nice hint of leafiness, perhaps form the lack of filtration.

The name of this wine comes from the expression you hear from anyone working the steep slopes of
Mt Toolebewoong, where these pinot vines grow.

Priced at around $28 a bottle, this is well worth forking out the funds for a taste of Aussie pinot terroir.
