Momento Mori's Bag of Bones Piquette is a nuanced wine uttering a symphony of flavours. Handcrafted in small quantities in Victoria, Australia, this organic and biodynamic magnum delivers an unexpectedly delightful symphony of citrus notes, underpinned by a distinct mineral edge. Its vibrant aroma of wildflowers and elderflower conjures a dreamy summer's day. Bag of Bones Piquette is refreshingly low in alcohol, but high in personality. Best served chilled alongside good company, it's a wine that challenges tradition, playing with the boundaries of what piquette can and should be. An audacious spectacle of winemaking craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes

We included a fair proportion of whole bunches into ours and as most of our fruit is pressed very lightly anyway and so has a lot left to give. It has resulted in quite a “full’ and reasonably (by Piquette standards) complex drink that does not lack any interest. It sits at about 5.7 % Alcohol so has enough substance to stand tall with Pet-Nats while still being very refreshing because of the low alcohol – Momento Mori
