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
Raspberry, cherry, pepper, a little dried tobacco and herbs on the nose.
On the palate, strawberry leather, raspberry coulis, with star anise and touch of terracota clay on the finish. Satiny texture without being overpowering — med + body but lithe.
Enjoyed with steak in salsa verde marinade w potatoes and mushrooms.
I really enjoyed this one, but me more than Greg.

Quite deep garnet terracota , browning rim . Quite a a lot of sous bois , menthol , dark tea. Quite dense and masculine in the mouth , dark tea , meaty , slightly more dried red fruits , sous bois on the palate . Quite long and complex on the finish , liquorice , meaty notes . Now and over the next 5-8 years . — a year ago
