Dormilona Orenji 2024
The Dormilona Orenji 2024 is a captivating skin-contact white wine that exemplifies the innovative approach of Margaret River's acclaimed winemaker, Josephine Perry. This blend of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from organically managed vineyards in the region, with the Semillon hailing from Perry's own Yungarra site and the Sauvignon Blanc from Blind Corner's certified-organic plot in Wilyabrup. The grapes undergo a two-week fermentation on skins in open fermenters, followed by eight weeks in a cement egg, imparting a distinctive texture and depth to the wine.
The Orenji 2024 presents a vibrant orange hue, accompanied by aromas of blood orange, grapefruit, and a hint of guava. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of fruitiness and tannin, with a refreshing acidity that enhances its drinkability. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation, contributing to its creamy mouthfeel and complexity. With minimal intervention in the winery, including no fining or filtration, the Orenji 2024 is a testament to Perry's commitment to producing natural, expressive wines that showcase the unique terroir of Margaret River.
