Krinklewood Semillon from Broke is a shining example of biodynamic winemaking in the Hunter Valley. The Krinklewood estate, founded in 1981, has been committed to organic and biodynamic farming practices for over two decades, producing wines that reflect the pure essence of their vineyard. Guided by winemaker Rod Windrim, the winery’s philosophy centers on sustainability and minimal intervention, resulting in wines that are both expressive and environmentally conscious.

This Semillon offers a pale straw hue with green highlights. The nose reveals aromas of lemon blossom, lime zest, and hints of fresh-cut herbs, underscored by subtle mineral notes. On the palate, it is vibrant and refreshing, with layers of citrus, green apple, and a distinctive flinty minerality. Its crisp acidity and elegant finish make it a versatile wine, ideal for pairing with oysters, grilled prawns, or zucchini fritters with mint yogurt.
