About The Wine

100% Syrah from a 45 year old vineyard which sits on the banks of the Goulburn river just beneath Mt Torbreck.

The vines are dry grown on a mix of alluvial sandstone, mudstone and shale with a high degree of volcanic material interspersed. The vineyard has been managed using organic practises for the last 5 years and no herbicides or pesticides are used. This is an extremely healthy vineyard, In fact I had never seen such a high producing vineyard while at the same time having such high quality fruit. I’m sure the rich alluvial soils being so fertile in nature have a lot to do with this.

The fruit was handpicked and underwent a 10 day whole bunch maceration in stainless steel. It was then transferred into one 400L clay amphora were it spent almost a year resting. It was then transferred by gravity back to a stainless vessel which it was then bottled by hand from. At this time we added 15ppm so2.

The resulting wine has an amazing freshness about it and, (for a Syrah) it is quite light and vibrant in nature. It also has a wonderful softness to it at the same time which is definitely something the amphora seems to impart to reds. Silky I guess describes this best.

It is by no means ‘fruit forward’ but is quite savoury leaning with a great line of acid and a really tidy structure. A lot of minerality too. A beautiful wine.

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.
