Tasting Notes

Pale gold straw in colour. This wine displays lifted aromas of stone fruit, quince & apple blossom with subtle almond notes. Fresh white nectarine and ripe grapefruit carry onto the palate with bright fruit intensity and light oak structure. Delicate hints of hazelnut are delivered due to nine months maturation in puncheons and barrique.

Wine Ageing:9 months in puncheons and barriques

Winemaking Style:Progressive yet respectful of tradition

Harvest:The Hunter Valley is well adept at handling cool and wet vintages, and 2022 put its skills to the test. Good viticultural management proved to be the key to a season of great fruit flavour and impressive natural acid retention.

Winemaking:The pristine fruit was picked at optimum ripeness in the cool of the night. The free-run juice was fermented with wild yeast in both new and aged French puncheons & barriques, plus a portion was fermented in stainless steel to maintain the lively fresh fruit characters. The wine matured for 9 months with regular stirring where 50% went through malolactic fermentation in barrels, before final blending and bottling. The resultant wine is a well-balanced, elegant modern Chardonnay.

Food Pairing:Creamy garlic prawn pasta. Spatchcock.

Krinklewood

Krinklewood, a biodynamic winery in the serene Hunter Valley, operates in harmony with nature's rhythms. Nestled by the Brokenback Range and Wollombi Brook, this family-owned gem features 49 acres of vineyards and forthcoming thermal pools. Founded in 1981 by Rod Windrim and family, Krinklewood embraced organic and biodynamic practices in 2002, defying conventions. Every corner of Krinklewood holds Rod's loving touch, a repository of cherished memories. Oscar Martin, the custodian since 2020, holds a deep connection to this place as a retreat from the city's hustle. A sustainable future is his vision, aligning with Krinklewood's commitment to earth-friendly practices. Valentina Moresco, the winemaker, sees wine as bottled poetry, a way to convey the land's essence. She aims to make Krinklewood wines vessels of memory, evoking moments under the Manchurian pears in the cellar door. Krinklewood is not just a winery; it's an invitation to savour life's moments and the land's richness.
