vintage

2019 was a beautiful vintage in Margaret River. A steady, mild season allowed for slow, measured flavour development that resulted in balanced natural acidity and lifted varietal fruit character, resulting in wines with incredible perfume, true elegance and real personality.

winemaking

This select parcel of Margaret River Verdejo was harvested in the cool night and transported to Millbrook in the early hours of the morning. The fruit was gently pressed, taking only the pure free-run juice, before racking from any solids. Fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures in stainless steel to retain freshness, with a select yeast strain chosen to enhance the varietal expression of this Spanish variety. This wine underwent minimal fining and filtration before being bottled.

• Alcohol: 13%
• pH: 2.24
• Acidity (TA): 6.0 g/L

Not unsurprisingly for an Italian variety, this is a beautiful match with a variety of pasta dishes, especially those with a cream or cheese-based sauce. Try with spaghetti carbonara.
