Alkoomi Black Label Chardonnay 2015
Likely to build richness over the coming year, this meaty, rather savoury chardonnay has a pungent, creamy bouquet of melon, peach and grapefruit backed by notes of mineral and funky yeast-derived nuances. Medium in weight, itÕs smooth and polished with restrained peach, apple and pear-like fruit overlying quite a wild expression of nutty, mealy complexity and finishing with fresh but gentle acids.

Winery
Alkoomi
Alkoomi was one of the founding vineyards of the Great Southern region. Located in the northern Frankland River sub region, its recent vintages are returning to the style and structure upon which they developed their reputation. Leading the current releases are the Melaleuca Riesling from 2016 (95/100, drink 2028-2036), a wine of classical perfume, purity and longevity, plus the elegant and restrained Blackbutt blend of red Bordeaux varieties from 2010.
