    About the Wine

    "Another new cuvée for 2022. This is a blend of Nero D’avola & Moscato Giallo. It is in the style of wine that I enjoy drinking the most, a complex yet easy drinking light(er) red with great structure. The fruit for this wine was grown by the Chalmers family on the slopes of their Mt Camel vineyard in Heathcote. These are very rocky, volcanic soils with a complex mix of Ironstone, Dolerite Green Basalt and Jasper which always imparts an abundance of minerality to the wines.

    Each variety was handled separately, and fermentation took place in 100% stainless steel. Both varieties were fermented semi-carbonic. This method allows good extraction of flavour and phenolics while keeping the wine on a leaner side of things - as opposed to over extracting tannins and overtly “fruit forward” flavours. Balance has always been what I strive for most in a wine and this set of 2022’s has achieved that exceptionally well. This wine has great harmony between fruit, minerality and acidity. Bottled by gravity with 10 ppm so2 added just prior bottling." -
    Dane Johns, Momento Mori

    About Momento Mori

    When it comes to cult winemakers there are only a few in Australia that have the same following as Momento Mori. With wines that are considered just as alive as the land they farm its not hard to see why.

    Dane and Hannah begun Momento Mori with the ideology of creating wines that first and foremost respect the living and are wines that they like to drink and share. They farm two sites one on the steep hills of Strezelecki Ranges in Gippsland and another beneath the Black Snake Ranges in the Tonimbuk valley.

    Farmed strictly with organic principles and a appreciation of the living and dynamic environment around them. Momento Mori wines are all very small batch with no use of new oak or mechanical pumps used on the wines, no fining or filtering and no additions, including no S02 at any stage of wine making.
