Clayface Pet Nat Chenin Blanc 2016
Don't know how Delectable would do this. Winner of this year's Young Guns of Wine, Dormilona wines' new releases. From left to right:
2016 Clayface Pet Nat: Chenin. In typical Dormilona Clayface manner, fermented in amphora terracota pots. Wild ferment. No sulphur, fining, or filtration.
2016 Skinnie: Stunning skinnie made of Sauv Blanc. Again, fermented in amphora. Aged in amphora and barrel (old?). Battonage. Minimal sulphur. A smart and most importantly, delicious orange.
2016 Chenin Blanc: Oh wow! Seriously gotta have more Chenin from the Margaret. Gotta love the creaminess leesiness minerality length of this wine.
2016 Rosado: Rosé from Tempranillo. Solid! Though it didn't really stand out in this crowd.
Jo and Jimmy are truly rising stars of the region! Can't wait to see more of their wines. — 8 years ago

Chardonnay 2016
So damn delicious. Had this at two tastings on consecutive days.
Note from Mike Bennie (Wine Front 2017, PWS notes):
Whole bunch press. Demi-muid and barriques (pretty sure all old oak - how many years?). One of those exquisite clear perfumes, fresh cut stone fruit, marzipan, blanched almonds, and faint seaspray. Glossy texture, intense grapefruit orientated flavours. So very silky through its finish, then mouth-watering. Such a beautiful, pure carriage of flavour. Classy as. — 8 years ago
