Alkoomi Black Label Riesling 2016 (Frankland River)

The Alkoomi vineyards and winery are located in the Frankland River district of Western Australia's Great Southern wine Region. The name is taken from local aboriginal dialect meaning 'a place we chose' and the logo represents the unique and distinctively Australian grasstree Xanthorrhoea Preissii. The first plantings were in 1971, and the regions long, cool ripening conditions are perfect for growing fruit of intense varietal character.

The Riesling fruit was harvested in the early hours of the morning in late February for the Alkoomi Black Label Riesling 2016 vintage. The free run juice of each parcel is fermented separately. The resulting wine is a fine tuned blend created from parcels including the original planting of 1971, through to a block of Geisenheim clone, planted in 2003. Winery Notes
