Krinkelwood Semillon


Krinkelwood is a certified in-conversion (essentially on it's way to becoming certified organic) biodynamic in the Broke Fordwich sub-region of the Hunter Valley. Biodynamics considers the farm in its entirety as a living system, the soil is seen as an organism in its own right. Therefore the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides is prohibited. Instead Krinklewood uses a series of special preparations to enhance the life of the soil, which are applied at appropriate times in keeping with the rhythms of nature.

Biodynamic viticulture is the most natural agricultural ‘farming’ philosophy. The effect on the wine that you are drinking is that it is the most pure replication of the individuality of the vineyard.

Seeing that Krinkelwood is in-conversion it is not allowed to be recognised for any medals. However, don't think that this means the wine is not a pure and pristine Hunter Valley superstar.

CHARACTERISTICS

A pale green wine with a fragrant floral bouquet of citrus & pineapple entwined with a hint of passionfruit. The palate is crisp and lively with a long clean citrus finish enhanced by the balanced acids and intensity of fruit characteristics.

RRP - $18.00

Think green.
