Description

This is an organically farmed Chenin Blanc from a small vineyard in Willyabrup, Margaret River.

Jo Perry, the winemaker and her viticulturist partner Jim have got their priorities right, focusing first and foremost on sourcing high quality fruit, before worrying about what to do with it in the winery.

The fruit is handpicked and whole bunch pressed straight into different vessels (including amphora & French oak) for wild ferment, where it sits on its lees before being bottled with no fining or filtration.

It's a lovely, unique expression of this loveable variety, and if you like your whites with a bit of texture and oomph, then this will be right up your alley.

    What a beguiling drop. Smooth with a long and generous back palette, real points of distinction. Not your everyday acid Chenin. Definitely add to you cellar.

Dormilona

Josephine Perry is one of the most exciting and interesting producers in Margaret River. Her Dormilona label is setting a new tone for the region.

A self-confessed 'lazy-bones' winemaker, Jo is low-intervention in the winery, instead focusing her energies on the quality of fruit that she brings in the winery.

She uses only organically and biodynamically farmed fruit from high-quality vineyards across Margaret River and the Swan Valley and is bringing an alternative styling to the hero varieties of the west.

These are natural wines with flair and originality. From vineyard to glass, Jo handcrafts each wine with love and tender hands. An authentic producer who's rightfully gaining plenty of attention.

Jo Perry and her fur baby, Humphrey Dormilona
