“Beautiful spot for wine tasting - and lovely wines. We had an excellent time with Ben who taught us a lot about their wines and made the experience fun. Great value getting the premium wine tasting selection.”
ANISHA, May 2022
You can discover the world of wine at Crittenden.
Our home grown varieties of pinot noir, chardonnay and savagnin are showcased in The Zumma, Cri de Coeur and Kangerong wines. You can also explore the Mornington Peninsula in our Peninsula wines or get a taste for Victoria's best regions and vineyards in our Pinocchio, Geppetto, OGGI and Los Hermanos wines, which feature some of our favourite varieties from around the world.
Across all our wines, you will find new favourites and old friends.
Proudly our foundation wines and premium range, these French varieties highlight the Mornington Peninsula’s claim as a leading Chardonnay and Pinot Noir growing region. Cri de Coeur, The Zumma and Kangerong make up the ranges grown from our sustainably farmed vineyard here at Dromana, whilst Peninsula is made using Mornington Peninsula grown fruit from various vineyards across the region.
This range of classic French varieties is unashamedly designed for youthful drinking and is part of the family’s quest to produce premium but affordable wines from grapes grown in several cool climate regions of Victoria.
The name for our classic, multi-regional Italian style range of wines stems from the old Italian folk story by Carlo Collodi. The Crittenden’s passion for Italian varieties has also seen winemaker Rollo work and travel extensively through the north of Italy, while Garry (Rollo’s father and company founder), has written a book on climatic comparisons between Italy and Australia. 2023 saw a redesign of the Pinocchio label, closely tying the new artwork and rebrand with the traditional Pinocchio story.
The fruit for our classic Spanish styles is sourced from premium Victorian cool climate regions. Los Hermanos means ‘the siblings’ and what more appropriate way to celebrate Rollo and Zoe’s influence in the family business. We realise it’s a bit indulgent, but we have always loved Spain, especially its food and wine.
Although in semi-retirement, Garry Crittenden continues to make wines he loves to drink. Fortunately for us, he makes enough to share with us too!
