Tinta Barocca

Its vibrant acidity and structured tannins make it an excellent match for savory dishes, such as grilled meats, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses.

The grapes are sourced from three distinct vineyards in Stellenbosch, Darling, and Swartland, each over 40 years old. These sites are carefully selected for their suitability to Tinta Barocca, featuring soils like Bokkeveld shale, decomposed granite, and clay. These old vines thrive in dry, warm conditions​.

The wine undergoes 15% whole-bunch fermentation, followed by 16 months of aging in older oak barrels. This approach enhances the wine's complexity without overwhelming the fruit with oak​.

Inspired by travelling the world of wine and grapes especially the ancient vineyards of the Old World; Momento Wines was born – 'Wines that reflect all the elements involved: the sun soil water and earth – along with people personalities ideas and experiences.' Momento Wines are made and based in Bot River a truly authentic and diverse region of South Africa.
