About Dormilona Wines
Since taking on a long-term lease at Yungarra Estate in Yallingup with her viticulturalist partner Jim, Jo Perry has certainly been reaping the rewards from this site. Earlier this year we released the utterly delicious Blanco and Pinku wines sourced from this site. If the quality of these two little beauties and the latest releases below is anything to go by, this could turn out to be one of the best decisions the Dormilona team have ever made.
In the lead up to vintage 22, a cool spring was followed by a warm and dry summer that, in Dormilona’s case, resulted in wines of beautiful ripeness and remarkable freshness, depth and purity. Although the vintage conditions were good and the quality of wines produced impressive, Western Australian winemakers had a pretty rough run in 2022. Closed borders meant that the logistical side of things proved even more challenging than usual – and that’s saying something! The WA wine community had to pull out all the stops to get through, onya team!
Today’s 2022 release includes the never-around-for-a-long-time Chenin, the classic springtime Skinnie (amphora Sauvignon we all know and love), the fresh and juicy little Rojo, the slightly skinsy Semillon and a couple of Pet Nats for good measure. As usual, all the fruit is certified organic and managed by Jim. Everything has been nurtured into the bottle with a lot of Jo Perry love, and there have been no additions other than a little sulphur.
