Momento Mori Nazomi Rose 2022

Tasting Notes

"‘Nazomi’... a new cuvée for 2022. This one is a blend of Schioppettino and Syrah rosé with just a splash of Vermentino culminating in a very drinkable rosé-esque wine.The fruit for this one also 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.With this cuvée each variety was fermented semi-carbonic separately in a mix of stainless-steel vessels and ceramic egg. The final blend was made up at the end of spring after the wines had rested in their respective vessels over Autumn and Winter.The resulting wine is very poised, structured and energetic. It seems light, laser focused and fresh whilst still having a good amount of complex fruith with a super vibrant acidity. Bottled by gravity with 15ppm so2 added just prior to that." - Winemaker Note
