millbrook celebrates wa diversity in 2020 halliday wine companion
The Millbrook Winery team enjoyed exceptional results in the recently published Halliday Wine Companion 2020, with 13 wines from the range scoring 90 points or more and a five-star rating for the winery, identifying it as an “outstanding winery able to produce wines of very high quality”.
Senior Winemaker Damian Hutton said of the results:
“We are thrilled to see Millbrook wines from a diverse range of regions from across Western Australia receiving such great recognition, including from our own estate vineyards in the Perth Hills. The 2018 Estate Viognier marks the 18th consecutive vintage and receiving 95 points is a great way to celebrate this milestone. We are also delighted to see our wines from lesser-known Western Australian wine regions, such as the Swan Valley, Geographe and Great Southern, stepping into the spotlight and scoring 94 or more points, which is testament to careful vineyard selection and identifying the perfect location for each variety.”
