Collection: Crittenden Estate | Mornington Peninsula

Crittenden Estate is one of the Mornington Peninsula’s pioneering family wineries, established by Garry Crittenden in 1982. Garry was among the first to recognise the Peninsula’s potential for cool-climate varieties, and among the first in Australia to champion Italian varieties as a serious alternative to the mainstream — a conviction that has shaped the estate’s identity ever since.

The estate produces two distinct ranges. The Crittenden Estate range focuses on the Mornington Peninsula’s signature varieties — Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — expressing the maritime cool-climate character of the region with elegance and precision. The Pinocchio range is dedicated to Italian varieties: Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio, Arneis and others, sourced from the King Valley and Mornington Peninsula, made in a style that is approachable, food-friendly and true to the varieties’ Italian origins.

Rollo Crittenden now leads winemaking, continuing the family’s commitment to variety-driven, terroir-honest wines from one of Victoria’s most distinctive wine regions.
