Alkoomi Frankland River Riesling 2013

June 2, 2014

Alkoomi Frankland River Riesling 2013 (Frankland River, WA)
12.1%, Screwcap, $22

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the shy and light 2012 but this looks to be back in the groove.

Water clear, this is classic Alkoomi Riesling from nose to tail, all kaffir lime and grapefruit, stern acidity and just a little mid palate weight. It’s not an overly intense wine, but the clean, pristine lines are quite attractive. I find it a little tart to finish, though not enough to detract from what is a pretty handy wine.

Good, well priced Frankland River Riesling (and certainly one of the better Alkoomi Rizzas).

  • About me – Andrew Graham


    At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, slogging through physics and chemistry, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

    Twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

    While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
