Momento Mori Nazomi 2023

This 2022 blend of Schioppettino and Syrah rosé with just a splash of Vermentino culminates in a very drinkable rosé-esque wine.

The fruit for this is grown on the lower slopes of the Mt Camel vineyard. These varieties on the lower slopes have their roots firmly planted in the deep red volcanic loam as opposed to the rockier natured soil at the top of the slope. Each grape variety was separately fermented semi-carbonic in a mix of stainless steel and ceramic egg. The final blend was then made up at the end of spring after the wines had rested in their respective vessels over Autumn and Winter.

Very poised, structured and energetic. It seems light, laser focused and fresh whilst still having a good amount of complex fruit with a super vibrant acidity.

About MOMENTO MORI
Husband and wife team Dane and Hannah Johns are behind Momento Mori in the fertile oasis that is Gippsland, Victoria. Their ambition is simple: To make wines with integrity that he wants to drink themselves. The first vintage was 2013, and since then, they have in record time created a reputation that has made their wines some of the most sought-after in their category.

The grapes come from small plots scattered across Victoria, and they only work with farmers who fully share their views on biodiversity and sustainable work in the vineyard. In the cellar, they work extremely carefully and patiently with small cuvées, slow fermentations without any kind of additions, no use of pumps, no casks, no fining or filtration and absolutely no added sulphur during the whole process. Dane and Hannah believes that the addition of sulphur, even in very small amounts, is completely unnecessary if you have done your vineyard work properly and take your time in the cellar. The result is unmistakable. The wines of Momento Mori are vibrant, full of life and aromatic complexity while always exhibiting impressive purity and precision.
