2025 Momento Mori 'Fistful of Flowers'

Moscato Giallo & Vermentino grown by the Chalmers family on the slopes of Mt Camel in Heathcote Victoria and a small portion from their Merbein vineyard further north. Long steady ferments in 100% stainless, approximately three weeks on skins, pressed, aged in stainless. Racked only once prior to bottling. As always an expressive whack of florals on the nose, perfumed stone fruits, musk, lemon and spring blossoms. The palate being pretty much the antithesis of this. Fresh and pure with a cool slated steeliness and a fine citrus-like salinity to keep it all together. The nose shows an explosion of jasmine, mandarin peel, apricot, and spring blossoms. The palate contrasts this with a fresh, stony minerality and a fine citrus-like salinity.
