Description

Not sure what a Floppet is? Doesn’t really matter. What Jo Perry’s done here is take Tempranillo and Shiraz from the 2025 harvest and spin them into a pét-nat that feels like summer in a bottle.

It opens with a slap of red berries and tangy grapefruit, then shifts into something more savoury and grounded. There’s a hint of Campari bitterness, a plush mid-palate that’s almost fluffy, and a rhubarb pie twist through the finish - tart, a little creamy, a little salty, and very, very hard to stop sipping.

Jo’s process stays true to her low-fi roots: hand-harvested fruit, destemmed and cold-soaked overnight before pressing, then bottled with just the right amount of fermenting sugars to let it sparkle up naturally in bottle. 

It’s more gourmet than grunge, like grown-up party juice with structure. So good with snacks poolside or straight from the esky with a straw - take your pick.

"Perry proves there is real merit in “pétillant naturel” wines – bottled before primary fermentation is finished, creating a little carbonation and sediment as a result – and this perky blend of tempranillo and shiraz shows how it should be done."

Top 100 Wines of 2025

The “pet nat” mania of recent years seems to be slowing. This brings the dual benefit of a lot of ordinary and opportunistic wines disappearing and the skilled and sensitive exponents of the style, like Dormilona’s brilliant Jo Perry, getting clear air and being appreciated for quality, not novelty. Perry proves there is real merit in “pétillant naturel” wines – bottled before primary fermentation is finished, creating a little carbonation and sediment as a result – and this perky blend of tempranillo and shiraz shows how it should be done.

Floppet is a crazy fun lov’n Pet Nat made from Tempranillo & Shiraz. Fresh from the vintage 2025.

Bright chilled red style Pet Nat. Super berry blast, with savoury fluffy mid palate & finishing with rhubarb pie crust.

Hand harvested, detsemmed into open fermeneters & cool soaked for 24 hours before pressing to tank. Chill natural ferement then stopped just with perfect amount of residual glucose/fructose before simply bottling.

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.
