FRUIT
We believe 2009 will join the ‘best vintage’ list for Krinklewood. Consistent warm termperatures throughout the growing season produced generous volumes overall. All of our white varietals were picked at optimum ripeness in the cool of night; the first being the verdelho on Jan 28th and Feb 1st and 12.2 Baume. Followed by the Semillon on Feb 1st and 2nd at 10.4 Baume. And lastly the Chardonnay on Feb 11th at 10.9 Baume.
WINEMAKING
After the fruit was crushed, the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks under cool conditions. Final blending took place just prior to bottling which was done early to retain freshness of the primary fruit flavours.
CHARACTERISTICS
The 2009 Wild White is a blend of our 3 flagship whites – Semillon, Verdelho & Chardonnay. Pale straw with hints of green, this Wild White has hints of floral tropical fruit on the nose with fresh passionfruit carrying through to the palate. It is balanced with zesty grapefruit and lime, keeping the wine fresh and lively and giving clean crisp finish.
CUISINE
The perfect accompaniment to Asian styled foods & Chicken dishes.
