Dormilona Chardonnay 2025

Dormilona Chardonnay is a Margaret River Chardonnay raised in amphora and large-format oak.

Sandy loam over granite is what shapes this one, a different profile from the ironstone gravel found across much of Willyabrup, and it tends to give purity and a quieter kind of generosity. The hand-harvested bunches were pressed whole into a mix of amphora and big-format oak, where it went through its natural fermentation and then malolactic without intervention, before being racked and bottled. The absence of new wood and the absence of stirring both count: what you get is shape and ease instead of polish. Bottled simply, as everything under this label is.

Balanced between freshness and gentle weight, with nectarine, lemon pith and a softly layered, slightly savoury finish. Serve at 11 degrees. Good with whole baked fish, chicken and tarragon, a bowl of pasta with cream and peas, or a soft cheese.
