2025 Mayer Bloody Hill Villages Chardonnay

A satisfying rendition of Yarra Valley Chardonnay from the second generation Rivar Ferguson-Mayer.

This is an elegant, mineral-driven Chardonnay from a cool site. It's made with little tinkering, from Mendoza clone fruit grown on a former Bress site in the Yarra, whole-bunch pressed and fermented in old barrels with no new oak and no malo.

As with all the Bloody Hill wines, it's about capturing freshness and easy drinking appeal as a young wine.

It's cool, fleshy with a crisp, clean finish. It's a delicious, if not A-typical modern expression of the Yarra Valley from a young winemaker on the come up.
