SKU: ALBBLACAB16
The Alkoomi vineyards and winery are in the Frankland River district of Western Australia’s Great Southern wine region. The name is taken from local aboriginal dialect and means ‘a place we chose’ and the logo represents the unique and distinctively Australian Grasstree. The first plantings were in 1971 and the region’s long, cool ripening conditions are perfect for growing fruit of intense varietal character. The Icon range come from these first vine plantings, making these a special wine for those special places, events, and friends that you chose.

”This is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and malbec in roughly equal proportions. It’s from a season where managing tannins was the major issue, and in this case, that’s been done well, while still allowing a firm structural core to be a key part of the wine. It’s got that ironstone minerality with a lift of bay leaf and black olive merging into the varietal blackcurrant. It’s one for the long haul.”
