Jo Perry established Dormilona in Margaret River in 2012 after nearly 20 vintages across Spain, France, America, New Zealand and Eastern Australia. While working in Galicia she earned the nickname Dormilona, or lazy bones, for failing to keep up with her team's fiesta lifestyle. In truth she was exhausted from early morning surf breaks and tireless hours honing her craft. She has embraced the moniker ever since, and went on to win the Australian Young Gun of Wine award in 2016. Minimal intervention and organic and biodynamic farming principles run through everything she makes.

This year, the make-up of Orenji is 80% Semillon with only 20% Sauvignon; traditionally sourced from Dormilona's Yungarra vineyard in Yallingup, the impact of fires during the summer saw fruit for this vintage come instead from both a north-facing, gravelly site in Wilyabrup as well as a cool-climate vineyard in Karridale.

A wet spring provided a good fruit set, which was hand-harvested in the cool of the morning and fully destemmed before being fermented on skins for two weeks in open fermenters. Pressed to tank for full malo and simply racked to bottle. Lighter in style to some of Jo Perry's other blends, this is skin-contact with the edges softened—an ideal gateway for those curious about orange wine but want something easy, refreshing, and moreish.
