Hazy orange in the glass. Bright aromas of green apple, lime, lemon zest, tangerine and some white flowers. Lightning strikes on the palate with an acid we can’t remember tasting so high in an Australian wine. But no fear – this zippiness is balanced out perfectly with the fruit and low alcohol, it just needs a lot of time to integrate and become fully enjoyable. Drink starting 2023 and for the next 20 years easily.
Nikau Farm is Dane and Hannah Johns’ of Momento Mori very own estate-grown, handcrafted and bottled wines from their family vineyard in Gippsland, Victoria. These wines have significantly more time, labour and dedication put into them, such that it would not be fair to group them together under the one Momento Mori label.
