Ecetera Ecetera 2024 is an INCREDIBLE natural wine crafted by Dane Johns of Momento Mori, in Victoria, Australia. This light red / dark rose wine is made with 50% Schioppettino and 50% Syrah grapes.

The Story Behind Etc Etc 2024, from Dane Johns
Etc Etc is one of Dane's all-time favourite wines, and labels. The inspiration came from his time in the Jura, where he fell head over heels for Ploussard (or Poulsard, a debate he says you do not want to get into). For Dane, Ploussard ticks every box: complexity, vibrancy, freshness and purity, usually with a touch of wildness and funk, and always gluggable. Etc Etc was designed to be that kind of everyday wine, and he feels every version has got better.
Production Process of Etc Etc 2024 by Momento Mori
Both grapes were fermented separately and handled very lightly, with around 3 days of carbonic maceration each. They were then gently pressed, the Schioppettino into 2 amphora and the Syrah into 1 stainless steel tank, where they spent 9 months. The two were blended 2 weeks before bottling, when 20ppm SO2 was added.
Tasting Notes for Etc Etc 2024 by Momento Mori
THIS WINE IS BEAUTIFUL! Expect a super light mouthfeel similar to Poulsard as explained above, and with crazy notes unlike other wines. Here you will find bursts of tomato marmelade, strawberry yogurt, plums, savoury watermelon, salt. Its got some nicely integrated soft V.A that lifts it but does not distract. Its balanced. Its juicy. its complex.
A gorgeous expression and one that loosens up and finds itself more as the night progresses, so carafe if you want a wow experience at the start or experience it evolving. Whilst mild volatile whispers creep on the nose, they are not there on the palate and the savoury aspect makes it very interesting and unique. VERY COOL INDEED!!
