Dormilona Yokel Chenin Blanc 2023

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion

Made from fruit off the Pinelli vineyard, whole-bunch pressed to large-format oak, Italian amphora and stainless-steel tank. Regular lees stirring for a month to ensure mlf occurs, then racked, blended and bottled. A captivating drink because it’s super savoury, slightly salty, as in lemon salt, and very refreshing. Expect lemon-lime juice with an intriguing texture and flavour I liken to zinc, mouth-watering acidity and refreshment guaranteed. If you’re into seafood, this is your partner, or try it with tempura vegetables dipped in Kewpie mayo.
