2023 Dormilona Tempranillo

Winemaker Jo Perry has extensive experience making wine in Spain, and she certainly knows her way around Tempranillo.

This comes from Jo's Margaret River vineyard, and is crafted in a fresh and juicy 'joven' style, as is Jo's fingerprint with most of her wines.

Tempranillo can often be a bit ripe and over-the-top but this is gorgeously pure-fruited and full of energy. A beautiful all-occasions red here.

"It was a mistake to taste this just before lunch. My tastebuds started craving jamón, salted almonds and Spanish olives. Plus, a big glass of this delicious wine – to drink. It’s such a cheery, juicy number full of red plums, cherries and a splash of cola/sarsaparilla and fruit pastilles, with a sprinkling of dried herbs. Lighter framed with fine, grainy tannins and uplifting acidity, you can certainly chill this down in warmer weather. Either way, an excellent wine."
