  • Regional Fiano
    REGIONAL FIANO WINE Regional Fiano VINTAGE 2018 REGION Margaret River VARIETY Fiano ANALYSIS Alcohol 13.5%, pH 3.26, TA 6.7 g/L VINTAGE & WINEMAKING NOTES The 2018 vintage was moderate, mild and a good year to grow Fiano in Margaret River. Rainfall in early January renewed canopies across the region and resulted in beautifully ripe, varietally pure wines that are brimming with perfect, delicate, natural acidity. This select parcel of Margaret River Fiano 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 Southern Italian variety. This wine underwent minimal fining and filtration prior to being bottled. TASTING NOTES Colour Brilliant pale lemon. Aroma Lifted lemon, pear and green apple skin with lovely floral, spice and honey notes. Palate A dry, crisp and clean expression of Fiano, showing pear and green apple notes with a twist of fresh lemon zest. Beautifully textural, with good length and an interesting, almost saline edge. CELLARING Enjoy now, lightly chilled. MILLBROOK.WINE | | REGIONAL RANGE The Millbrook Regional range highlights the quality and diversity of Western Australia’s wine regions. Millbrook’s winemakers have identified specific regions best suited to the varieties in the range in order to make expressive, vibrant and varietally pure wines, which perfectly match a range of cuisines. PERTH HILLS Located in the historic town of Jarrahdale in the Perth Hills wine region, Millbrook Winery is PERTH a multi-award winning, boutique vineyard, farm, Jarrahdalrrahd e orchard, restaurant and winery.

  • An Assessment of the Non-Volant Mammal
    AN ASSESSMENT OF THE NON-VOLANT 1 MAMMAL FAUNA OF THE AREA BETWEEN DAWESVILLE AND BINNINGUP, SOUTHERN SWAN COASTAL PLAIN Western Grey Kangaroo – Photo: B Hyder Report prepared for: Environmental Protection Authority October 2009 Bridget Hyder and John Dell, Department of Environment and Conservation 1 This report only covers non-flying mammals; bats are included in a separate report (Bullen 2009) INTRODUCTION The Western Australia Museum (How 1978) documented the vertebrate and aquatic fauna of the northern Swan Coastal Plain between the Swan and Moore Rivers and evaluated the impact of the first 150 years of European settlement on the indigenous fauna. That study concluded that the impact of settlement had been most pronounced on the mammalian fauna. Reviewing all available data, How and Dell (1993) later stated that at the time of European settlement 16 species of non-volant (non-flying) native mammals were known from the Swan Coastal Plain and many of these species had subsequently decreased in abundance and distribution. The status of many of these species is continuing to decline as a direct result of vegetation clearing and some of these species are now absent from many parts of the Swan Coastal Plain where habitat loss and modification has been most severe. The Museum survey documented mammals of the northern Swan Coastal Plain. However, in comparison little information is currently available on the status of mammals on the southern Swan Coastal Plain. The purpose of this report is to examine the current status of non-volant mammals on that part of the southern Swan Coastal Plain from Dawesville to the Leschenault Estuary, hereafter called the Dawesville to Binningup study area.

  • Connection Is Dependent on Further Development in the Hills That Is Currently Not Planned
    SUBMISSION FROM SALLY BLOCK RE. PETITION No. 54-GIDGEGANNUP URBAN PRECINCT We confirm that we have nottaken our complaint to the Parliamentary Commission for Administrative Investigations. We urge the Committee to investigate this matter further. This development is unique in Western Australia and has the potential to change the nature and amenity of the Perth Hills. There are significant complex issues and a high level of inter-governmental coordination and private sector clarity is necessary. Further enquiry could contribute to this process greatly. The North Eastern Hills Settlement Pattern Plan (NEHSPP) was workshopped over a lengthy period encompassing both the community and Government to ensure that the recommendations would preserve the "Hills Lifestyle". To this end the recommendation was made that three small Townsites would appearthe most appropriate developments in the North Eastern Hills, with total populations in the order of 4000 people. A large townsite was deemed unsuitable given the potential of such a townsite to impact on the "Hills Lifestyle". The Gidgegannup townsite area was just over 200 ha. The proposed area has now expanded to 296.6 ha with a possible second stage to increase the area to 429 ha. The number of lots has been set at 1500 or more dependent on what is needed to fund infrastructure requirements. The impact of the water pipeline to service this proposed development could also have a significant effect on the Hills villages through which it passes in terms of development that is not currently planned. The community does in fact welcome development of our Townsite, justthat it should be appropriate development conforming to our planning documents that have been in place for many years and have had considerable inputfrom the community.

  • Lake Clifton
    Advice to the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) on an Amendment to the List of Threatened Ecological Communities under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Name of the ecological community Thrombolite (microbialite) Community of a Coastal Brackish Lake (Lake Clifton) This advice follows the assessment of information provided by a public nomination to include the “Thrombolite (microbial) Community of a Coastal Brackish Lake (Lake Clifton)” in the critically endangered category of the list of threatened ecological communities under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). This name is consistent with the name used for this ecological community in Western Australia, although a reference to stromatolites which appears in the Western Australian title has been omitted for the sake of clarity. 2. Public Consultation The nomination was made available for public exhibition and comment for a minimum 30 business days. In addition, detailed consultation with experts on the ecological community was undertaken. The Committee also had regard to all public and expert comment that was relevant to the consideration of the ecological community. 3. Summary of conservation assessment by the Committee The Committee provides the following assessment of the appropriateness of the ecological community’s inclusion in the EPBC Act list of threatened ecological communities. The Committee judges that the ecological community has been demonstrated to have met sufficient elements of Criterion 2 to make it eligible for listing as critically endangered. The Committee judges that the ecological community has been demonstrated to have met sufficient elements of Criterion 3 to make it eligible for listing as critically endangered.

  • Spatial Analysis of Climate in Winegrape Growing Regions in Australia
    Hall and Jones Climate in winegrape growing regions in Australia 389 Spatial analysis of climate in winegrape-growing regions in Australia_100 389..404 A. HALL1,2 and G.V. JONES3 1 National Wine and Grape Industry Centre, Charles Sturt University,Wagga Wagga, NSW 2678, Australia 2 School of Environmental Sciences, Charles Sturt University, PO Box 789, Albury, NSW 2640, Australia 3 Department of Environmental Studies, Southern Oregon University,Ashland, OR 97520, USA Corresponding author: Dr Andrew Hall, fax +61 2 6051 9897, email [email protected] Abstract Background and Aims: Temperature-based indices are commonly used to indicate long-term suitabil- ity of climate for commercially viable winegrape production of different grapevine cultivars, but their calculation has been inconsistent and often inconsiderate of within-region spatial variability. This paper (i) investigates and quantifies differences between four such indices; and (ii) quantifies the within-region spatial variability for each Australian wine region. Methods and Results: Four commonly used indices describing winegrape growing suitability were calculated for each Australian geographic indication (GI) using temperature data from 1971 to 2000. Within-region spatial variability was determined for each index using a geographic information system. The sets of indices were compared with each other using first- and second-order polynomial regression. Heat-sum temperature indices were strongly related to the simple measure of mean growing season temperature, but variation resulted in some differences between indices. Conclusion: Temperature regime differences between the same region pairs varied depending upon which index was employed. Spatial variability of the climate indices within some regions led to significant overlap with other regions; knowledge of the climate distribution provides a better understanding of the range of cultivar suitability within each region.
