FRUIT
We believe 2009 will join the ‘best vintage’ list for Krinklewood. Consistent warm temperatures throughout the growing season produced generous volumes overall. The Verdelho berries were picked at optimum ripeness in the cool of the night on January 28th & February 1st at an average of 12.5 baume.
WINEMAKING
The fruit was picked in the cool of the night at optimum ripeness and was crushed with only the premium free-run juices being used. Fermentation took place in Stainless Steel tanks under cool conditions. The wine was bottled early to retain freshness of the primary fruit characters with very fine filtration.
CHARACTERISTICS
Pale straw with a luminous green hue , this wine has lifted aromas of melon fruits, citrus & custard apple. It has a soft, ripe, fruit driven palate which is perfectly balanced by a long crisp acid finish.
CUISINE
Enjoy this wine young & fresh with seafood or asian-styled cuisine.
