Bloody Hill is the personal project of Rivar Mayer, son of the legendary Timo Mayer, whose wines have become some of the most distinctive and sought after in the Yarra Valley. Growing up among vineyards and surrounded by his father's unconventional approach to winemaking, Rivar has developed his own identity, producing wines with a wonderful sense of energy, purity and individuality.

Villages Chardonnay captures the freshness and elegance of the Yarra Valley in a wonderfully expressive style. Bright citrus, white peach and crisp green apple are accompanied by delicate floral notes and a subtle savoury character. The palate is beautifully textured, with lively acidity, a gentle mineral edge and just enough richness to give the wine depth without losing its freshness.

There's a lovely balance between generosity and precision here, with the kind of effortless drinkability that makes great cool climate Chardonnay so appealing. Fresh, vibrant and beautifully composed, with a lingering citrus finish and plenty of character.
