We’re all class over here at the TC HQ 🤪
We recently bought this 2020 Rosé from Dormilona in WA.
Yokel is a Western Swamp Tortoise 🐢 which is native to the waterways of the Swan River and is currently the most critically endangered reptile in Australia. For every bottle of Yokel sold, Dormilona will give a dollar to the ‘Friends of the Western Swamp Tortoise’ iniative and the breeding program at the Perth Zoo 🙌
Which is why I bought 6 bottles 🤩 It’s for a good cause right 💚
This Rosé is made from Grenache grapes 🍇 from Vino Italia in Perth’s Swan Valley. I love these notes from the Dormilona website:
“Hand harvested, detested & left on skins for a day ,then basket pressed straight to amphora & oak. Once dry, blended & aged in a large concrete egg called Bacon 🥓. Simply racked to bottle with a kiss of a sulphur.”
We found it a pale strawberry 🍓 colour in the glass with amble red fruits, lip licking citrus and florals rising from the glass. In the mouth I fell in love with the strawberry and cherry flavours. Balanced and silky. So. Darn. Yummy.
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!
