Deep pink in the glass. Combo of red fruit and florals on the nose. Much more character on all fronts compared to the previous two vintages. The Merlot comes out on the palate with lots of cherries, raspberries and brined plums. Juicy and simple, just the right poolside aperitif.
Small batch winery Dormilona is run by Jo and husband Jimmy. The name Dormilona means ‘lazy bones’ in Spanish and reflects their laidback approach to winemaking and her nickname during her winemaking years in Spain. She makes wine to express the vintage, the conditions, the site, the soils and best of all, uses very little intervention.
