Tasting Notes
Dormilona Magic Carpet Pét-Nat (Margaret River) is a vibrant, aperitif-style sparkling with lifted aromatics of pink grapefruit, wild florals, and a sprinkle of crushed herbs. Bright fruit — think peach, quince, and a touch of citrus — dances on the palate, framed by playful, fine bubbles and a crisp, dry finish. There's a charming tension here: textured and juicy yet light on its feet, offering instant drinkability and a joyous sense of discovery in every fizzing sip. - Chris L
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.
