Krinklewood Vineyard
Krinklewood’s commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture would be laudable in any of Australia’s wine regions – but in the humid and warm Hunter Valley, where downy mildew and grey rot can run amok, it’s nothing short of revolutionary. The label is also a pioneer of this form of winegrowing within the Hunter region, commencing conversion in 2002 – at a time when such ideas were at the fringe – and achieving ACO organic biodynamic in 2007. The vineyard currently comprises six and a half hectares of semillon, chardonnay, gewürztraminer and shiraz, stewarded by viticulturist Chris Martin.
