Tasting Notes
Dry grown Chenin Blanc from a certified Bio Dynamic vineyard in Yallingup. Hand harvested, destemmed into amphora for 4 days to ferment on skins then pressed off skins back to amphora. Once the degrees of natural sugars reaches a certain level, the ticking wine was transfered directly into bottle where it is allowed to complete its natural sugars to leave a wine thats is naturally sparkling. No nothings. Sans sulphur. - Winery Note
Dormilona is the boutique natural-wine project of winemaker Josephine (Jo) Perry, established in 2012 in Margaret River, Western Australia. The name—Spanish for “lazy bones”—is an affectionate nod to Jo’s laid-back surf-inspired work ethic in Spain, but it belies a winemaking philosophy defined by hands-on care and minimal intervention.
Jo crafts her wines with purity and precision that reflect each vintage and site. She sources organic and biodynamic fruit—most notably from her own Yungarra vineyard—and works with natural ferments, gentle extraction, and seldom uses oak. Her range spans elegantly structured single-site bottlings and a playful “House Wines” collection, including amphora-aged and skin-contact styles that showcase both subtlety and creativity.
Dormilona’s wines are celebrated for their clarity, texture, and quiet intensity—distinctive expressions that reveal both regional character and Jo’s thoughtful, restrained approach to winemaking.
