Why We Love This Wine

A 4th generation family owned winery in Western Australia's Southern area of Frankland River, Alkoomi's vineyard management philosophy has always been quality over quantity while practicing sustainable farming. The cool climate and well-drained gravelly loam soils here are similar to those of Bordeaux in France. The long, cool ripening conditions in this area are perfect for the production of grapes of intense varietal character. Grapes are harvested at the peak of ripeness in the cool, early morning to retain primary fruit freshness from juice, to fermentation, to bottle. Brilliant pale straw with green flecks, the nose reveals lifted aromas of white flowers, grapefruit, & musk. On the palate, intense flavors of lime and orange with a sherbet like acidity gives freshness & length to the palate.

Winemaker / Tasting Notes

Immediately enjoyable now but with great ageing potential, this lovely Riesling exudes wonderfully integrated aromas & flavors of lime, lemon, & passionfruit.
