Grapegrower and Winemaker Article

Meg Riley from Grapegrower & Winemaker Magazine speaks with Rollo to learn more about his esteemed Cri de Coeur Savagnin. 

"Crittenden have long been pioneers - of organic vititculture, sustainable production and varietal expressions in winemakering. After it was revealed that a mix up meant that their pioneering "Albarino" was in fact Savagnin, Crittenden became pioneers of that variety instead."
