2023 Dormilona Tinto

92 POINTS

Mike Bennie - The Wine Front

It’s shiraz, which makes a few people balk when you say ‘Margaret River’ after it, but here fermented wild, 100% whole bunch, a lighter, fresher intent. It’s boysenberry, mulberry and woody spices to sniff on. Juicy in the palate with a haze of sandy tannin, fine, tightening, but letting the pretty fruit do its thing. Sloshes along with easy pleasure, stains the palate gently, feels lively to drink and full of come-hither pleasure. Ideal. Summery, but with more to it. More of this thanks.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion

Made from shiraz and in a youthful style so it’s all upfront fruit of black plums and red cherries spiced to the max with some meaty reduction adding a savoury element. Rather perky acidity and grainy tannins work across a lighter-framed palate, and it ends up a moreish drink. Pass the charcuterie platter, please.
