Dormilona Orenji 2026

Dormilona Orenji is a Margaret River skin-contact white, eighty per cent Semillon with twenty per cent Sauvignon Blanc.

Summer fires changed where this wine came from. Yungarra usually supplies the fruit, but for 2026 the parcels came instead from a north-facing gravelly site at Wilyabrup and a cool-climate vineyard down at Karridale, near the southern end of the region. A wet spring had set a good crop. Picking happened in the cool of the morning, the fruit was fully destemmed, and fermentation ran two weeks on skins in open fermenters before pressing to tank for a full malolactic and a simple rack to bottle. Two weeks is a moderate amount of skin contact, which is the point.

Lighter than most orange wine, with mandarin peel, dried herb and a gentle tannic edge that never turns chewy. Serve at 12 degrees. A good place to start if skin contact is new territory, and it goes with roast chicken, felafel, a tomato salad, or a firm goat cheese.
