Josephine Perry is the woman behind Dormilona wines, from Margaret River and Yokel (Swan Valley). Working alongside this inimitable woman is partner Jim Crespin. The pair’s intuitive, organic approach always bears great rewards throughout their wines, and the release of the Clayfaces, a range of wines fermented and aged using Italian amphoras, are an annual highlight for us.

Jo and Jim’s Yungarra site is the source for the Clayface Cabernet. Thanks to Jo and Jim’s efforts on these gravelly, loamy, limestone-rich soils, the well-established vines are really hitting their stride. The fruit was hand-harvested and destemmed before fermenting in amphora pots. After four months, the wine was basket-pressed back to the same vessel, where it rested for another month before being bottled by hand directly from the pot.
