Details
Here's a pristine glass of Riesling, from the Frankland River region of WA, one of Australia's premier destinations for this grape. The fruit is on show, allied with razor-sharp acidity. Plenty of lime leaf, mandarin and lemon sherbert here, walking along a thin line of acidity that whips the palate into shape. Low on fizz so you can slam it down fast... if that's your thing.

Un-fined, unruly, unfiltered and wild, the Goon Tycoons are ripping up the rulebook and seeking adventure in Western Australia's finest wine regions. Set up by three kindred spirits looking for a way out of their day jobs, this is a winery which takes the notion of expression very seriously indeed. Margaret River has long been the home of pioneering spirits, and the Goon Tycoons are on a mission to unlock the potential of its lesser known nooks and crannies. With a home base in the Margaret River, Goon Tycoons are consistently on the lookout for the best terroirs, offering the most fascinating set of flavours and characteristics. No matter where they land, Goon Tycoons will always seek a way to put their own unique spin on things, based on the principles of small-batch production and a wild and rebellious approach. They've got all the ingredients for a cult classic – so get in there before they hit the big time!

Pairing guide
It’s no secret that we’re major Riesling fans here at Good Pair Days, and it’s always exciting to come across a new bottle that tickles our taste buds with this iconic varietal. This white wonder from Goon Tycoons is about as food-friendly as can be, and works amazingly well with aromatic and spicy Thai cuisine, Vietnamese salads, Sichuan fish and pork dishes, and fiery peri peri chicken. It’s also a great choice for simple pasta dishes, grilled oily fish, herby salads and much, much more!

Wine region
Great Southern, Australia
Get ready to swirl, sniff, and sip your way through Western Australia's largest wine region - the Great Southern! Stretching from the coastal town of Albany to the scenic hamlet of Denmark to the south, this vast region is known for its world-class wine. Within the Great Southern, you will find five sub-regions, with Frankland River and Mount Barker being arguably the most noteworthy. But the Great Southern isn't just about the grapes - the area's family-owned wineries are passionate about their craft, using traditional techniques and the region's mineral-rich soils to create wine bursting with flavour. It is hard to pigeonhole the region in terms of grape varieties, Riesling does particularly well here as does Pinot Noir and Shiraz amongst others. So grab your corkscrew and get ready to explore the Great Southern - the ultimate destination for wine lovers!
