This includes everything from designing the labels, working at the cellar door , marketing , PR, vineyard work and making the wine.

Just two hours drive north from Sydney or 20 minutes west of Pokolbin. The 48 acre vineyard is comprised of classic Hunter varieties of Semillon, Chardonnay, Verdelho & Shiraz, with newer plantings including French varieties Viognier and Mourvedre and the popular Spanish variety of Tempranillo.

Features: Biodynamics is in effect a supercharged system of Organic farming. Where Biodynamics differs significantly in practice from organics is in the use of special preparations & the timing of their application. Biodynamics considers the farm in its entirety as a living system, Krinklewood Vineyard is becoming a self-sustaining system in this way and has applied for Biodynamic Certification. In Biodynamics, the soil is seen as an organism in its own right. Therefore the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides is prohibited. 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.
