The Wanderer Pinot Noir'

Pinot Noir, Victoria, Australia

’Memento Mori’ is a reminder of the inevitability of death (happy shopping!), a warning against becoming too consumed by our tendency towards grandiosity in the present. We don’t think you could be more garage-punk if you tried! Dane Johns and Hannah Miller’s project is located in Gippsland, Victoria & has been bringing focus to the explosion of natural wine production in Australia. The Wanderer comes from organic pinot noir from the Nikau site, a dense block of vines directly in front of their home. 100% destemmed fruit goes through a short and gentle maceration producing a completely unique and free-spirited wine, utterly pure and uncompromising. It is singular and strange, especially for what you THINK you know about Aussie Pinot, like a lava-lamp rocket taking off with crackling acidity and a jagged, slash of chalky tannins. These wines suggest a focus on life – however fleeting its most significant moments can be, so drink up (!) as you create another, and another & yet another.
