Dormilona Tinto 2023

Dormilona Tinto is a light, early-drinking Margaret River red made from Shiraz.

Two organic vineyards feed this vintage: the usual Osmington site, inland and a touch warmer, joined this year by Yungarra up on the coastal ridge. Fruit is hand harvested in the morning to keep it cool, which is central to the nuevo style of this wine, quick and bright and made to drink young. Fermentation starts in small open-top bins, and five days in it goes through the basket press into tank to finish. Nothing goes in except a small amount of sulphur at bottling, and there is no fining and no filtration. It is the house red of the range.

Crunchy red and black fruit, cracked pepper and a saline finish, with tannin kept right out of the way. Serve it cool, 13 to 14 degrees, straight from twenty minutes in the fridge. Pizza, barbecued sausages, a charcuterie board, or roast capsicum and anchovy.
