Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown are coming to Timber Door Cellars — we’re honoured that Jeremy Schmölzer & Tessa Brown will be pouring and guiding the tasting themselves.

This is a rare chance to meet two of Victoria’s most important cool-climate voices, hear their stories firsthand, and taste through the wines that are redefining Beechworth and Alpine Victoria.

Why Schmölzer & Brown Matter
- A defining force in modern Beechworth. Alongside the region’s icons, Jeremy & Tessa represent the next generation — shaping a more precise, mineral-driven identity for one of Victoria’s most revered wine regions.
- The Thorley Vineyard is fast becoming legendary. Perched at altitude on decomposed granite, it’s a site that already shows serious pedigree — and they farm it with absolute care and intention.
- Their wines are benchmarks of purity and tension. Expect crystalline Riesling, finely detailed Chardonnay, perfumed Pinot Noir and elegant Syrah — all unmistakably stamped with terroir.
- Winemakers’ winemakers. Jeremy & Tessa are highly respected by peers, sommeliers, and critics; their wines feature on Australia’s best lists and sell out every year.
- A perfect embodiment of Timber Door’s mission: small production, vineyard-first philosophy, Victorian terroir, and unwavering craftsmanship.

Jeremy & Tessa will guide guests through the evolution of their vineyards, their farming philosophy, and the winemaking choices behind each wine — an experience normally reserved for trade and industry tastings.

Come meet the duo behind one of Victoria’s most exciting and important producers — and taste the future of cool-climate Australian wine at Timber Door Cellars.

Who is he?

Why is he important?
He’s part of the new-wave Yarra story: sourcing exceptional fruit, working with minimal intervention, and crafting vibrant, characterful wines that sommeliers and wine lovers chase by the glass. From juicy, expressive Pinot Noir to textural, aromatic whites, his wines are all about energy and personality.

Come taste with Syd, hear the stories behind Thick As Thieves, and discover why his wines have become Yarra Valley favourites.

2024 Pizzini Nove Pinot Grigio 🍇

This orange wine, ‘Nove’ meaning nine refers to the number of days skin contact in making this wine. Orange wines have become trendy and either you love them or hate them, often the later because it takes some skill to make them right. But the first time I tried this wine I knew where the Pizzini’s hailed from, only an Italian from northern Italy, close to Slovenia, a traditional home of orange wines, would know how to make this style properly. It’s a wine that will restore your faith in orange wines with aromas of pear, citrus, rose petal and watermelon… a refreshing wine perfect for Summer.

🌿 Just Arrived at Timber Door Cellars: A Double Hit from Tahbilk 🌿

We’re pouring two incredible releases from one of Victoria’s most iconic estates — and they’re already turning heads.

✨ 2025 Tahbilk Fiano
Fresh off winning the Melbourne Royal Wine Show Trophy for Best Single Varietal White, this Fiano is vibrant, textural and beautifully expressive — a standout modern white from a legendary producer.

🍇 2017 Tahbilk “1927 Vines” Marsanne
A true Australian classic. From some of the oldest Marsanne plantings on the planet, this wine is entering its golden years, showing layered citrus, honey, minerality and extraordinary depth.
