Tasting Notes
This Sauvignon Blanc was hand harvested in the early hours of the morning, crushed directly into amphora pots & open bins. Wild fermented, hand plunged daily & left on skins to macerate for a good month. Basket pressed straight to back to amphora & barrel for natural malo. Battonaged with extra love until ready. Racked once, to blend & bottle. No additives, finings nor filtration. Only very minimal sulpur at bottling. - 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.
