Dormilona Yokel Chenin Blanc 2022
Jo Perry might well be the hardest working young winemaker in Australia. Since first doing vintage work at Cape Mentelle as a teenager, study at Charles Sturt University was followed by 7 vintages in Spain managing two wineries, 15+ vintages in France, New Zealand and the US not to mention the last 14 vintages in Margaret River.
Yokels mascot it the beloved Western Swamp Tortoise whom is native to Swan River. They are also the most critically endangered reptile in Australia. With every bottle sold a portion of sales is donated to help the restoration of land, the breeding program at the Perth Zoo & recently have helped with relocation.
Stunning hand harvested Chenin Blanc from the Pinelli Vineyard, Swan Valley. Gently whole bunch pressed off to large format oak, amphora & tanks. Battonaged for a month to help natural malo. Then simply racked to blend then bottle. - Winemakers Notes
