FOOD AND WINE


FOOD AND WINE

2018 has been a year of dramatic growth for the Perth Royal Food Awards, with Smallgoods, Branded Meats, Cider, Pantry and Alternative Milk Products competitions added to the portfolio, and with competitions planned for 2019. As the dust settles after a huge year of celebrating the best in food and wine, we take a moment to chat with Millbrook Winery’s head chef and 2017 The West Australian Good Food Guide Chef of the Year Guy Jeffreys about his approach to cooking, produce selection and wine.

By John Clark

A FRESH PERSPECTIVE


FOOD AND WINE

Tell us a bit about yourself! Where are you from?I’m originally from Noosa heads QLD, but I call WA home now.

How long have you been a chef?25 years.

Where else have you worked before Millbrook?Star Anise, Leeuwin Estate, Divido.

What got you into food?I wanted to leave school and surf all day so I thought cooking at night would be a way to do that, then I quickly found out split shifts are a thing!

How long have you been at Millbrook?8 ½ years.

The kitchen garden at Millbrook is central to the experience, what does it mean to you growing, preparing and serving ingredients you’ve produced yourself?Everything, it’s a lifestyle. We have 1 acre of heirloom vegetable garden, 2 acres of 90 year old orchard, and an acre of olive grove. We haven’t bought any fruit or vegetables for the restaurant in the last couple of years. The chefs do all the gardening. 100% is grown from seed and about 60% is grown from the previous seasons saved seeds. We don’t use chemicals or sprays and it’s all done by hand.

What are your favourite vegetables to grow and cook with in the restaurant?Whatever is in season, and whatever we pick that morning! We grow about 100 different varieties of vegetables over the year so it’s a bit like picking a favourite child. But, I would say tomatoes in Summer, blood plums in Autumn, broccoli in Winter and asparagus in Spring.

How often do you change the menu?All the time, sometimes in the middle of service!

What’s your favourite varietal or wine Millbrook’s winemaker Damian Hutton makes and why?Definitely Viognier, it’s grown on the property and unique to our region.

What’s the secret to success for a winery restaurant these days?The whole package done well and with passion.

What’s the most important thing for a chef or restauranteur to remember?Enjoy what you do and the customer will too.


FOOD AND WINE

You can use whatever vegetables that are in your garden, or whatever looks fresh at the farmers market. Below is a list of what we pull out of our garden on a spring day

Serves 4 as a quick, tasty treat

INGREDIENTS4 x 200g fish portions4 knobs butter8 kale leaves8 silverbeet leaves8 asparagus spearsA large handful of podded broadbeans 4 small fennel bulbs, fronds reserved for garnish1 kg mussels, bearded 1 chilli, sliced3 garlic cloves, sliced1 lemon, juicedSalt, pepper and olive oil

METHODSeason the fish, place a knob of butter on top of each portion and bake in the oven. Grab a large heavy based pot and place all ingredients in apart from the fennel fronds and lemon juice, put on a tight fitting lid and place on a high flame. As soon as it starts to steam take off the heat and stir through the lemon juice. Serve with fennel fronds, baked fish and a bottle of Viognier.

The Perth Royal Food Awards are an important event in the annual calendar for WA producers of premium food and beverages. The opportunity to compare efforts against those of our peers is both a learning process and an opportunity to gain further insights into how our products are perceived in the marketplace. Importantly, the Awards are innovating to ensure producers have access to these opportunities to learn and evolve.

By Larry Jorgensen, Wine of WA CEO

PERTH ROYAL WINE AWARDS – TODAY AND TOMORROW


In the case of wine, it is a process that involves both peer review and consideration by industry experts from a diverse range of perspectives. Judging panels these days consist not only of winemakers. Show committees are aware that, while technical assessment is important, the extra dimensions that separate gold medal wines from the rest are largely subjective. It is best to have a range of perspectives to interpret these qualities and those closest to the customer offer input that can help winemakers understand what these are. So, we now see sommeliers and retailers join winemakers and wine writers on judging panels to help tease out the best from the rest.

The discussions that occur offline, between classes, can be as valuable as the judging process. Simple conversation can reveal emerging trends across the wine value chain. New clonal material and growing/production initiatives are as interesting to the purveyor of wine as consumer trends and preferences are to the growers and makers of fine wine. Wine shows provide the space for this to happen. The resulting fomentation of ideas has consistently been a driver of innovation and development in our industry.

The Wines of Provenance is a further example of innovation. Wine shows are a snapshot in time in the life of a wine, be that on release in current vintage classes or with age in museum classes. The opportunity for judges to see the same wine over time is a privilege and an instructive one. The stories that flow from these provide confirmation of Australia’s commitment to producing fine wine that comes from special places.

The Royal Agricultural Society of WA has taken industry development to heart by linking two scholarship awards to the Perth Royal Wine Show.

The inaugural Wine Industry Scholarship recognises Bill Jamieson for his contribution to the society and the development of the WA wine

industry. Valued up to $12,000, the scholarship will provide financial assistance for up to two years to a student undertaking tertiary study in a wine related discipline to help support their career in the wine industry.

The Advanced Wine Judges Scholarship was developed by the RASWA Wine Committee to support education in agribusiness. The scholarship has been named after John Hanley, AO in recognition of 43 years contribution to the Perth Royal Wine Show and is intended to support the development of excellence in the WA wine tasting sector. This includes the winner having the opportunity to attend one of the pre-eminent Wine Sensory Evaluation courses in Australia.

The intent of agricultural show awards has always been to “improve the breed”. As Australia moves towards greater value-adding and production of premium products, this requires a focus by agricultural shows on attributes that support higher value propositions. The Perth Royal Wine Show committee is adopting initiatives to help Australian wine producers achieve this aim.

This effort all flows down the value chain to support profitable sales and growth. The federal $50 million wine industry support package aims to capture the energy of wine producers who are committed to increasing the value of their products. A comprehensive program to bring the message to the world that Australian wine is “made our way” is currently rolling out in our key markets. Additionally, in each state, funding is available to states and regions to support growth in wine tourism. The authenticity of our wine offer is integral to successfully growing wine tourism. The Perth Royal Wine Awards are an important part of this.

Judges Comments: Strong class of wines showing the strengths of Semillon and Chardonnay when crafting blended wines. Top wine was a standout and medal winning wines displayed freshness, length of flavour and balance.

Judges Comments: Even, good drinking wines, but no real standouts. Judges looking for freshness and acidity to no avail.
