Description
Frankland River icon, Alkoomi, is owned and operated by Sandy and Rod Hallett who have been nurturing and growing the family business over the past 11 years to create authentic wines and continue the family legacy of more than 50 years of grape farming. Thought to be derived from local indigenous language – Alkoomi, meaning ‘a place we chose’, was established in 1946 as a grain and livestock farm by Sandy’s grandparents, Vic and Netta Lange. With the first vines planted in a bold venture by Sandy’s parents, Merv and Judy Lange, in 1971 the journey of Alkoomi wines began. The family today grows a wide range of different grape varieties perfectly suited to the cool, continental climate of Frankland River. Their vineyard practices are respectful to the land and they are always adapting and evolving their techniques, technology and methods to be as low impact and sustainable as possible.
An ideal season in 2023 … A dry winter lead to a a very cold spring followed by warm summer days, slow ripening, controlled irrigation, healthy, plush canopies and a late autumn harvest.
All estate grown fruit .. blend of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Shiraz, Viognier, Grenache .. fermented in stainless steel to preserve fruit freshness and delicacy.
Aromas of strawberries and cream, stonefruit. Flavours of peaches, pink grapefuit and vibrant acids. Pefect accompaniment to a charcuterie board .. relaxing under and umbrella at the beach or when lunch turns to dinner!
“A pale and dry style, elementary in its feel but delivering decent summery refreshment factor. Peach, strawberries and cream, some bitter lemon characters to taste. Similar fragrance, a bit of rosewater to sniff on additionally. A dry and bright finish lends charm. Easy, ready to roll wine.” Mike Bennie for Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
