"We have now had a good 9 years of work and energy gone into the vineyard’s and the rest of the property here at Nikau Farm. We have planted 3 orchard blocks, brought in sheep, runner ducks, cattle, pigs and chickens. As well as planted hundreds of native and exotic plants. All to say, we are now starting to see the fruits of our labour. This progress is no more evident than in the vineyards. Converting both vineyards from spur pruning to cane pruning was a mammoth job in itself. Then beginning the practice of compost tea brewing and application, hand weeding and the selection and further enhancement of under vine and mid row species for more biodiversity." - Dane Johns, Momento Mori & Nikau Farm 100% Pinot Noir was hand sorted & hand destemmed, then cold soaked for 48 hours so as to start fermentation very slowly. It spent 10 days in that state where it began ferment and received one light pump-over per day. It was then pressed to a small stainless steel tank to finish ferment as juice. This is where it sat un-disturbed for the next 9 months until bottling. It was bottled by hand and received an s02 addition of 10ppm at this time to protect from oxygen ingress.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
