Crittenden

97 POINTS | Cri de Coeur Sous Voile Savagnin | GOLD ✨

"Incredibly fresh, to the point more citrus flavours come to the fore rather than oxidative complexity alone. A hint of florals, camomile with some preserved ginger spice on the palate. Nutty, mouth-watering aldehydes and burnt butter, with some wood tannins adding volume. The all-important distinct acidity of savagnin keeps this lively from the first sip to the last. Another excellent addition to the lineage of this style spearheaded by Crittenden." Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

Our 2018 Savagnin made a statement at the National Wine Show of Australia earlier this year, with Rollo proudly accepting a Trophy from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. It appears that our 2019 Savagnin is poised to follow in its footsteps...

Don't miss your chance to be among the first to taste this 97-point beauty at our exclusive CRITTENDEN X CUTLER & CO. Wine Dinner next week. Limited seats available - secure yours today.

96 POINTS | Cri de Coeur Pinot Noir 2022 | GOLD ✨

"This is up there as one of the finest Cri de Coeurs to date. It retains a core of cherry fruit, some kirsch, chinotto, blood orange juice and zest. Plus lots of spices and cedar wood flavours – not oaky, though. Fuller bodied, textural tannins with a little hazelnut skin feel to them, then fine acidity freshens the palate in time for another sip." Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

Be one of the first to enjoy this outstanding Pinot at our exclusive Pre-Release Wine Dinner Cutler & Co. next month. Strictly limited seats available.
