Alkoomi
Frankland River Western Australia Riesling



As I remembered, still a bit of sharp elbows on this one. It was so sharp that I looked up the production notes last time and recall a finished ph of 2.9!
This may have lasted until one's grandchildren were ready to drink it, but it was a refreshing match with grilled chicken at the beach.
Pale yellow. Nose of reductive, flinty soil and lime zest, citrus blossom. Palate is medium bodied, very high acid, medium low alcohol, a bit unbalanced toward acid.

A little reductive out of the gate. Sweaty sock, grapefruit nose - seems a little closed. Body was a bit too abrasive with the acid. Grapefruit bomb.

Love the 11.8% alc on this Alkoomi Riesling. Pale, limpid green yellow. Aromas of struck flint, lime, chalk and green citrus. Flavors are expectedly lean and fresh. This can age for 10+ into something quite interesting.
