We'd like to share a video featuring Garry Crittenden from Crittenden Estate, discussing the evolution of his family's winery on the Mornington Peninsula.

From planting their first vines in 1982 to pioneering the establishment of new grape varietals in Victoria.  Also discover which grape Garry thinks is the greatest in the world!

Garry was inducted as a Melbourne Food and Wine Festival Legend in 2012 for his pioneering work introducing new grape varietals to Victoria including barbera, nebbiolo, dolcetto and sangiovese and for his commitment to the development of the Mornington Peninsula wine region and inspiring many Australian winemakers.
