vintage
The 2018 vintage was excellent in the Perth Hills. Rain at the very beginning of January was perfectly timed to recoup canopies and reinvigorate the vines. Mild, moderate temperatures throughout the remainder of the growing season yielded beautiful clean fruit, rich in varietal flavour and with pristine natural acidity.
Millbrook Regional Viognier is always made to a dry, modern style with savoury notes complemented by bright and generous fruit. Individual parcels of fruit were hand-picked in the cool of the night and were pressed directly to tank. Cold settled and hard racked to retain textural grape solids, the wine was then left on lees for three months to build texture and depth before being lightly fined and filtered prior to bottling.
