Dormilona
Margaret River Sémillon
Margaret River, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
Dormilona is pretty lit, don’t ya think 😜
As soon as I saw this Dormilona 2017 Blanco available on The Wine Gallery’s website, I knew it was destined to be part of this months #thetcwineclub.
Dormilona means lazy bones in Spanish which is a nickname winemaker Jo Perry picked up in Spain however it also refers to her hands off approach to winemaking.
About this wine:
💀 Made from Semillon grapes, but I believe there’s a splash of Chenin Blanc in the mix too (please correct me if I’m wrong Jo!)
💀 Made from handpicked organic and biodynamic grapes from WA’s Margaret River
💀 Whole bunch pressed, skin contact, lees stirring and some time spent in older oak to add texture
We found this white a pale yellow colour on the eye with a slight cloudiness to it. The nose it’s a full of fresh herbs, orange rind and green apples for me. While in the mouth it’s full of juicy lemon acidity, more apples, a hint of peach and lick of beeswax. A unique and incredibly moreish white wine that’s good fun to drink.
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!

Apricot hues, salty citrus on the nose, medium plus to high acidity, pink grapefruit, white nectarine notes. Medium dry finish.
I’d imagine for food would balance through anything light rich and sweet nicely.

Bone dry. Barnyard. Lemon. Lemonade even.
