Inspired by Dane's time spent in Jura where he fell head over hells in love with Ploussard (or Poulsard, but that’s a debate you don’t want to get into). Ploussard ticks all of the boxes for him. Complexity, vibrancy, freshness, purity and usually with a touch of wildness & funk, everything he wants in an everyday wine.

Etc Etc was designed to be that type of wine and in Dane's opinion (and ours), every vintage has gotten better and better. 

Comprised of 50% Schioppettino and 50% Syrah rosé it sits surely in the light red category. Both varieties were fermented separately and handled very lightly. Approx 3 days carbonic maceration for each and then gently pressed to 2 amphora (Schioppettino) and 1 stainless steel tank (Syrah). They then spent 9 months in their respective vessels until being blended 2 weeks before bottling at which time 20ppm so2 was added.

The resulting wine is what the common vernacular calls ‘Glou Glou'! Proper light red, but in no way lacking in complexity or intensity. Light, vibrant, fresh, complex with that beautiful red berry acidity that keeps you going back for more.

Serve chilled!
About the Producer

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.

The wines of Momento Mori are vibrant, full of life and aromatic complexity while always exhibiting an impressive purity and precision.

Dane Johns has also started an immensely ambitious project making wine from his own vineyards under the name Nikau Farm.
