Momento Mori Staring at the Sun 2019
These Australian wines offer a fantastic bouquet of flowers and tangerines, giving way to kiwi, yuzu, ginger and lightly toasted almonds on the finish. This wine is unbelievably refreshing thanks to a slight sparkle married with mouth-watering acidity. You won’t have had a wine like this before; unique and gorgeous.
