Alkoomi Semillon - Sauvignon Blanc | Frankland River
Lifted aromas of lemon peel, passionfruit pips and waxy floral nuances. Sweet juicy, fruit flavors of lychee and granny smith apple. Vibrant and mineral acidity results in a refreshing length to the flavor profile.
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".
59% Semillon, 41% Sauvignon Blanc. Fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness in the early hours of the morning and pressed to tank. The juice from several blocks was fermented separately in tank and kept on lees post fermentation to improve mouthfeel, before blending and early bottling to retain freshness.
