Frankland River, Western Australia

Alkoomi

Alkoomi (a name taken from a local aboriginal dialect meaning “a place we chose”) is a family owned and operated winery run by Sandy and Rod Hallett. Their fruit is 100% estate grown in the cool climate of Frankland River, a few hours drive southeast of Margaret River.

Sandy’s parents planted the first vines in 1971, producing wine five years later. The vineyard shares similar climatic conditions to those found in Bordeaux. The vineyard is located fifty miles inland from the Southern Ocean, resulting in good winter rains and dry ripening months. Summer days and evenings are cooled by fresh sea breezes, enabling ideal slow ripening of grapes. 

All vines are pruned by hand and no herbicides or pesticides are in the vineyard. Any water used during production comes directly from rain collected in dams or tanks. From 2013, solar panels have been installed to minimize carbon footprint and increase energy efficiency.

Today, Sandy and Rod along with winemaker Andrew Cherry work in and oversee all facets of the vineyard and winery. Alkoomi is recognized for its elegant Cabernet, Shiraz and Cabernet blends, while their Riesling has helped establish the reputation of Frankland River as a premier Australian region for this varietal.

Where our award-winning wines are born, each a testament to the conditions that make Frankland River truly unique. Nestled 200-300m above sea level, our vines bask in warm days blessed with abundant sunlight, only to be cradled by cool sea breezes at night.

The result? Delicate, expressive, and age-worthy cool climate wines that are designed to be enjoyed with the ones you love.

Rosé in winter? Well, yes.

There`s a misconception that the cooler weather needs to focus on robust reds. And as much as we love a stunning glass of red by the fire, there`s no reason why Rosé can`t be a bottle you reach for year round.

Instead of drinking it icy cold like you may prefer in summer, why not try serving it at a cooler room temperature, similar to how you`d serve a light pinot noir, and pair it with a big red wine glass to help release more of the aroma.

2022 Grazing Collection Frankland River Rosé is a gorgeous option to take from summer to winter. With hints of raspberry and pomegranate with a refreshing acidity that dances across your tongue, pair it with a spicy eggplant pizza or a charcuterie board with an abundance of meats and cheeses for a toasty night in.
