MOMENTO
Marelise Niemann is a perfect example of the new breed of South African winemakers: energetic, innovative and incredibly inspirational. She started her winemaking career in 2007 at Beaumont Wines, while keeping travelling and honing her craft around Europe. Momento is her solo project, merging technical excellence with a real sense of terroir and craft. Incredibly small quantities of wines are produced from dry-farmed, old vineyards, all brimming with intense energy, concentration and elegance. A true superstar in the making.NEW RELEASES

TASTING NOTES
"Red Rock Terrace displays a beautiful core of blackcurrant, crème de cassis and juicy red plums. Hiding behind the gorgeous sweet fruit, fragrant notes of cordial, cocoa and liquorice emerge with time in the glass. Laser-beam precision is supported by the finest, grippiest tannins imaginable.

TASTING NOTES
"Brooding yet sensuous, Gravelly Meadow reveals earthy, savoury, meaty notes the nose, along with blackcurrants, blueberries and mulberries. There are subtle hints of herbs, tobacco and cedarwood. Once again, the tannic structure is impeccable and perfectly integrated. This says more about the superb quality of the fruit than it does about the 100% new oak.

TASTING NOTES
"Volcanic Hill shows intense notes of cassis, blackcurrant, blueberries and black cherries, followed by violets, cocoa and cordial. This is full bodied and opulent, yet the tannic structure is beautifully integrated and nothing is overblown – the balance is impeccable. It also manages to be seriously refreshing.

TASTING NOTES
This is the signature wine of Momento, and a Grenache noir with a unique Pinot Noir character. 1/3 whole bunch fermentation, the grapes are picked earlier to retain freshness, this is giving a flowery expression, a certain delicateness and distinction. The palate is graceful and fresh, with a grippy tannic structure, this is a harmonious wine, restrain and mineral. Drink...
