2025 Dormilona Malbec

A juicy, minimal-intervention Malbec from Jo Perry’s Dormilona label, sourced from a single organically farmed vineyard in the Wallcliffe subregion of Margaret River. Fermented naturally with gentle extraction and no oak, the wine focuses on freshness, purity and vibrant drinkability.  The nose shows blueberry, dark plum and blackberry alongside violet, cocoa, spice and subtle earthy herbs. Bright purple-fruit energy and floral lift give the wine a lively, youthful feel.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with juicy dark fruit, silky tannins and refreshing acidity. Plush and vibrant without becoming heavy, finishing fresh and lightly savoury with excellent drinkability.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A seriously fun modern Margaret River Malbec — vibrant, juicy and built for immediate enjoyment rather than heaviness or oak. Best served slightly chilled with BBQ, burgers, grilled chorizo or casual shared food. Drink now through 2030+.
