About

Crittenden Estate is one of the oldest family owned and operated wineries on the Mornington Peninsula. Established in 1982.

The family is passionate about creating quality cool climate wines that represent the region as well as their commitment to minimal input viticulture.

Rollo Crittenden, second generation winemaker, credits the quality of the Crittenden wines with the sustainable management of the vineyard that has been imperative in their processes for the last 15 years, vastly improving the quality of the soil and in turn the quality of the fruit and wine.

Discover the recently renovated custom built Crittenden Wine Centre. Designed to enable customers to appreciate the calibre of their wines in comfort and style, the Wine Centre provides an innovative way of tasting that enables guests to properly explore the Crittenden’s wide range of wines that are crafted onsite.

Although a short stone’s throw is all that separates the two chardonnay blocks, each planting provides unique and desirable characters to the finished blend. Early harvest and minimal oak & malolactic reliance has helped retain its vibrancy with...

Crittenden Estate Peninsula Fumé Blanc
Crittenden Estate Peninsula Fumé Blanc

This FUMÉ BLANC style is a beguiling wine that brings a new dimension to Sauvignon in our wine line up. Essentially it seeks to capture a smoky minerality with both texture and length, and in our view succeeds. Due to the use of only 10% new oak...

Crittenden Estate Cri de Coeur Savagnin Sous Voile
Crittenden Estate Cri de Coeur Savagnin Sous Voile

A complex array of flavours, amongst them preserved lemon, grilled nuts & exotic spice. A palate of tremendous breadth and length with mouth filling chalky texture and persistent acid drive.

Crittenden Estate Cri de Coeur Chardonnay
Crittenden Estate Cri de Coeur Chardonnay

Favourable weather led to excellent fruit set. A large crop load needed some “thinning” to reduce potential yeild. A mild to warm ripening period made for a perfect harvest with pristine fruit.

Crittenden Estate Cri de Coeur Pinot Noir

Cool weather over flowering resulted in lower than average yields. A warm, dry summer to follow fortunately ensured that our limited production achieved optimum flavour ripeness and will see the 2017 vintage be remembered as one of the best in a...
