Family run and operated vineyard in Frankland River, Western Australia. The original 1220 hectare property was purchased by Sandy's grandparents, Vic and Netta Lange, in 1946 and initially operated as a mixed grain and livestock farm. It was grandma Netta who chose the name "Alkoomi" for their rugged property, on land over two million years old – a local Aboriginal word meaning "a place we chose".
Nine small, separate blocks of estate grown fruit harvested over a period of two weeks were selected for this vintage. The components were matured in twenty percent new French Oak for 14 months, the result being a wine of complexity through vineyard expression and time in oak.
“Nine blocks harvested over 2 weeks, matured in French oak (20% new) for 14 months. Elegance is the byword of this cabernet that brings perfectly ripened flavours of cassis/blackcurrant in a gently flowing stream across the palate, superfine tannins and cedary oak adding carefully calibrated complexity. Will provide enjoyment when young or mature.”
