Details
Delish! This offers up typically 'Rieslingesque' vibrant flavours of lemon, grapefruit and lychee, with the soft, mouthwatering acidity adding freshness and length, not to mention making it far too easy to drink! freshness and length to the palate. Lovely definition, nice fruit weight, plenty of musk and orange blossom - lots to love here. Really great drinking.

Origin: Rhine Valley, Germany. Mainly Grown In: Germany, Australia, France, Austria, USA. Key Facts: Queen of precision, delicacy, and purity, Riesling is one of the few varieties that's as well known for world-class sweet wines as for bone dry. It has a drool-inducing nose of lime, apricot and honeysuckle and a palate can range from enamel-etching sour apple (in a good way), to godly nectar that satisfies desires you didn’t even know you craved to fill. Shamefully misunderstood due to the mass production of sloppily made sweet versions in the late ’80s and early '90s, Riesling has far overcome this poor reputation and claims some of the most honourable seats in the most coveted wine collections of the world. Fun Fact: Riesling is the main white grape in Alsace, France, but can be blended with Pinot Gris, Muscat and other aromatic varieties.

Pairing guide
We’ve said it a thousand times before, but we LOVE Riesling wines here at Good Pair Days, not least because they’re the food-friendliest of the whites, and pair beautifully with all of our favourite dishes! This little beauty from Alkoomi is going to match up especially well with Thai and Vietnamese dishes, spicy Chinese chicken, vegetable and fish creations, and with roast poultry, pork pasta, seafood, tofu, green veggies... and that’s just the tip of a very delicious iceberg of culinary possibilities!

Frankland River, Australia
Frankland River is one of five sub-regions in Great Southern, Western Australia. The Great Southern as the name suggests is extremely large, spread out over 100 km north to south and 150 km east to west. Frankland River is located in the north-west part of Great Southern and is known for high quality Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling as well as recent movement towards Grenache, Tempranillo and other Mediterranean varieties. The region is relatively recent with plantings dating back to 1967 and by the 1980s wineries like Alkoomi and Frankland Estate were well established.
