Dormilona is a boutique winery located in Margaret River, founded by award-winning winemaker, Josephine Perry. Translated as ‘Lazy Bones’ in Spanish – Dormilona is a producer of natural wines, made lovingly and organically using low impact, minimal intervention techniques.

​

Growing up in the Margaret River region, Jo’s path to winemaking was inspired by her grandfather, who was the head brewer for Perth’s Swan Brewery. With his encouragement, Jo started her journey at just 14 years of age, gaining work experience at Margaret River’s Cape Mentelle.

​

Far from lazy, Jo’s deliberately slow and nurturing hands-off approach to winemaking is about providing time and space during the fermentation and maturation process to allow the natural flavours and characteristics of varietals to shine through. It’s also about selecting the right fruit – organic grapes from family-owned vineyards, grown respectfully using local knowledge and ethical, biodynamic practices.
