NOTES
Garry and Rollo Crittenden are dedicated small scale vignerons with an exciting range of handcrafted wines. Today, their efforts are channelled into producing small batches of wines that elegantly and emphatically speak of their varietal and geographic provenance under the Crittenden Estate, Pinocchio and Geppetto ranges The family takes great care, pleasure and pride in the wine it produces. The portfolio spans estate-grown, cool climate wines of Burgundian origin, new and exciting Italian varietals and other regional classics from both the Mornington Peninsula and further afield from some of central and north-east Victoria’s finest vineyards.
While that is indicative of how far this family company has come since planting its first vines on the Peninsula 25 years ago, there is one overriding and essential constant linking all phases of its winemaking endeavours: a deep-seated commitment to doing everything possible in the vineyard that leads to the finest fruit quality and, afterwards, treating that fruit in the winery in such a way as to ensure it produces inspirational wine that reflects such care, passion and craftsmanship.
This is a small group of wines which, in our view, offer the opportunity to drink premium quality wines at a fraction of the price you might expect to pay. The Geppetto range of wines is meant for drinking. Every day if you want to! There is nothing overly complex about Geppetto; what you see is what you get. Designed to be accessible and honest, you will find the wines are consistent in their quality.
TASTING NOTES
Fresh aromas of stone fruit and musk are evident on the nose. The palate is rich and generous with evident acidity acting as a counterbalance to the intentionally retained residual sugar and helping to provide the wine with great length and intensity.
