🌟 Merv and Judy Lange
Merv and Judy Lange helped establish Frankland River’s wine industry by planting vines at Alkoomi in 1971. The family property had been a grain and livestock farm; experimenting with grapes opened a new direction. Alkoomi’s first vintage followed in 1976, and a winery developed as the venture grew. Their daughter Sandy and her husband, Rod Hallett, later took over the business. The district’s winemaking story includes this gradual transformation of a working farm, beginning with a small planting and a considerable willingness to learn.
