Millbrook Winery

West Coast Australia


Millbrook's lush vine rows and ponds come a a total surprise, nooked into the dry jarrah-clad hillsides the middle of somewhere close to nowhere. Chardonnay and tempranillo are the main games. The Mod Oz restaurant here has a big rep, too (mains $36 to $39), using the estate's own vegetables and herbs. Book ahead. Follow the signs off Jarrahdale Rd.
