$290.00 GST Included

The origin of the name Kangerong can be traced back to the mid 1800s when a a local cattle run and homestead adopted the named ‘Kangerong’ as bestowed by the local Aboriginals, the Bunurong People. The surrounding area, now known as the Kangerong basin, is home to our 27 acre family farm; an area which we feel is ideally suited to the Peninsula’s more recent agricultural pursuit of wine grape growing – in particular the regional heroes of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Characters of white stone fruit and citrus on the nose. On the palate you’ll find peach, lemon curd and grapefruit. A touch of flint and good supporting acid.

About Crittenden Estate

Crittenden Estate is one of the oldest family owned and operated wineries on the Mornington Peninsula. Established in 1982, they are passionate about creating quality cool climate wines that represent the region as well as their commitment to minimal input viticulture. After growing up on the farm, the second generation of Crittendens are now fully immersed in the family business.

Garry Crittenden’s son Rollo is now Winemaker whilst daughter Zoe takes care of the marketing. Rollo 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.

The second Crittenden generation, siblings Rollo and Zoe, both grew up among the vines watching their father make magic out of grape growing. These days they have embraced and taken on the family business with Rollo controlling the winemaking and general management and Zoe taking care of all of the marketing, allowing their father Garry to move into (semi!) retirement.
