Description
Dormilona Yokel Grenache 2021
Dormilona Yokel Grenache is ultra juicy and popping with red candied fruits and rosy floral aromatics. Brightly perfumed with vibrant berries and fruitiness with a liberal dusting of spice. Delicious drinking and a great fresh take on Grenache from WA.Â
The bush vine Grenache is dry grown & was established in the 1950’s by the Vino Italia family vineyard middle Swan. Cracking fruit, hand harvest by the family themselves & delivered to the Dormilona winery with love. Destemmed into opens & fermented on skins for up to 7 days. Light basket pressed straight to tank. Racked off heavy lees to bottle with a little dabble of sulphur.
Josephine Perry is one of the most exciting emerging producers in Margaret River. Her Dormilona label is setting a new tone for the region. She uses only organically and biodynamically farmed fruit from high-quality vineyards across Margaret River and the Swan Valley and is bringing an alt-styling to the hero varieties of the west.
