The fortification process meant that the wine did not undergo fermentation and was allowed to settle in tank for six months before being filtered to a seasoned oak ‘solera’ system. A solera system is used for ageing as it allows fractional blending over time. This results in wines of consistency and quality every year. The final wine is drawn for bottling in small quantities from barrels at the bottom end of the solera. Those barrels are then “topped off” with wine from the middle set in the system. The barrels at the very top of the solera are “topped off” with new wine, filtered straight from the tank. Millbrook’s solera system is well established and now in its 13th year. The system yields a wine that has complex and mature flavours (from the older wines) and a fresh crispness (from the younger wines). TASTING NOTES Colour Deep golden. Aroma Exhibits ripe fruit aromas including toffee, apricot, raisins and roasted nut. Palate The palate is sweet and silky smooth, displaying an array of concentrated flavours with extraordinary richness and intensity. MILLBROOK.WINE | |

    ANALYSIS Alcohol 18.5%, pH 3.75 , TA 4.7 g/L

    WINEMAKING NOTES Picked at 20–24 Baume from select Western Australian vineyards dating up to 80 years old, the juice was fortified on skins, left for seven days and then pressed. The fortification process meant that the wine did not undergo fermentation and was allowed to settle in tank for six months before being filtered to a seasoned oak ‘solera’ system. A solera system is used for ageing as it allows fractional blending over time. This results in wines of consistency and quality every year.

    The final wine is drawn for bottling in small quantities from barrels at the bottom end of the solera. Those barrels are then “topped off ” with wine from the middle set in the system. The barrels at the very top of the solera are “topped off ” with new wine, filtered straight from the tank.

    Millbrook’s solera system is well established and now in its 13th year. The system yields a wine that has complex and mature flavours (from the older wines) and a fresh crispness (from the younger wines).

    TASTING NOTESColour Deep golden.Aroma Exhibits ripe fruit aromas including toffee, apricot, raisins and roasted nut. Palate The palate is sweet and silky smooth, displaying an array of concentrated flavours with extraordinary richness and intensity.

    orchard, restaurant and winery.
