Crittenden Estate

Garry Crittenden a leading figure in the Australian wine industry for 25 years, now works alongside son Rollo in their family company Crittenden Estate.

Rollo and Garry are dedicated small scale vignerons with an exciting new series of handcrafted wines and produce. Their efforts are being channelled into producing small batches of wines that elegantly and emphatically speak of their varietal and geographic provenance.

The company's wines are divided into four distinct ranges, Crittenden, Pinocchio, Geppetto and the new Los Hermanos. Those bottled under the flagship Crittenden brand are classic varietals of French origin, produced mainly from mature vines growing on the estate at Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula: Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir and Cabernet. Pinocchio is the brand encompassing Rollo and Garry's latest foray into the fascinating world of Italian varietals: Moscato, Arneis, Rosato, Dolcetto and Barbera.Geppetto meanwhile, includes wines Garry has specialized in for many years, but which are sourced from both the Peninsula and other prime grape producing regions of Victoria. The Los Hermanos range, consisting of Spanish varietals, is the latest addition and is the result of a collaboration between Rollo and sister Zoe. Los Hermanos is Spanish for "the siblings". The aromatic white Albarino was the first to be released under this label and will be followed by a red, Tempranillo.

Produce is also available in the Geppetto range: Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Verjus, Dukkah, Cogna and Vinocotto.
