Yalumba began with the planting of vines in 1849 by founder Samuel Smith. Under the moonlight, in the heart of the Barossa, he laid the foundation not just for generations of vines but for a philosophy that endures to this day: a deep respect for the land and a willingness to venture into the unknown. A family wine business doesn't thrive across three centuries by remaining static. Change is constant, and innovation is essential. While the current sixth generation of Yalumba custodians holds great respect for the past, their focus remains firmly on the future. A business that has flourished for 175 years does so by continuously evolving, never resting on its laurels. Guided by the fifth and sixth generations of the Hill-Smith family, Yalumba's success is attributed not only to its leadership but to its wider community—the coopers, growers, sommeliers, restaurateurs, retailers, and distributors—each with a shared passion for exceptional wine and quality. Their dedication and collaboration push Yalumba to even greater heights. The Yalumba story began with Samuel Smith's bold venture from England to the small town of Angaston, South Australia. With his son Sidney, he planted the first vine in 1849. That pioneering spirit has been carried through the generations, from Sidney Smith to Robert Hill-Smith, who led Yalumba into the modern era, pioneering Viognier in Australia and launching the prestigious Caley Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz, honoring his great uncle Fred Caley Smith. Today, the sixth generation, Jessica and Lucy Hill-Smith, continue the family legacy with Jessica as General Manager of PR & Communications, and Lucy as a Fine Wine Ambassador in the UK. Yalumba remains dedicated to crafting exceptional wines while always looking forward to what lies ahead.

We (Rod and Suzanne Windrim) planted our first vines on our first Hunter Valley property in 1981. In 1997 we moved to a picturesque property in Broke Fordwich and planted a much larger 48 acre vineyard. We completed courses in wine processing and viticulture at Kurri Kurri Tafe and later attended a Rudolph Steiner Agriculture course. This course was hugely influential and impacted immediately on our overall approach to viticulture and farming. By early 2002, we were fully committed to Biodynamics and commenced to manage our farm organically and biodynamically. Krinklewood Vineyard became fully certified biodynamic by 2007. Krinklewood is a family owned boutique Hunter Valley winery and vineyard in which every member of the family contributes significantly. We, together with our great team of vineyard and cellar door staff, are all committed and ‘hands on’ in the daily biodynamic operations of the vineyard and farm and delight in the fact that ‘what you put in is what you get back’. Our unique logo is somewhat a tribute to our beloved Limousin cattle. Prior to the vineyard being planted, Krinklewood Biodynamic Vineyard was home to more than 60 Limousin cattle. Gradually the herd has been reduced to make room for the vines, but the remaining herd still roam freely and contribute significantly to our biodynamic farming practices. This striking breed of cattle originate from the Limoge province in France where an ancient cave painting depicting the bulls gave inspiration for the Krinklewood logo.
