Dane and Hannah Johns founded Momento Mori to craft wines with considered integrity throughout the entire winemaking process. They farm two small plots on their property in Gippsland, Victoria, and another plot beneath the Black Snake Ranges in the Tonimbuk Valley using strict organic principles fully respecting the biodynamic ecosystems they operate within.

They also work with like-minded growers throughout Victoria. Their wines are all hand-made with small ferments, wild yeast, no new oak or mechanical pumps, no fining, filtering or additions, not even sulphur at any stage of wine making. Memento Mori’s wines are idiosyncratic, full of character, freshness and purity.
