Dormilona Clayface Cabernet
SKU:2023 | Margaret River | Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
The 2023 Dormilona Clayface Cabernet is a standout expression of natural winemaking from Margaret River, carefully crafted by the talented Josephine Perry. This Cabernet is made with grapes that are hand-harvested and then gently destemmed before being placed into Italian amphorae. The traditional winemaking process includes daily foot-stomping and a lengthy maceration on the skins, which imparts a deep, complex character to the wine.
After five months, the wine is basket-pressed and returned to the amphorae to settle, ensuring a pure and unfiltered final product. The result is a medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with elegant layers of blackcurrant, plum, and subtle herbal notes, all supported by fine tannins and a refreshing acidity.
Perfect for those who appreciate a handcrafted wine with minimal intervention, the 2023 Clayface Cabernet is both a celebration of traditional methods and a modern take on Margaret River’s rich terroir.
