MEET THEM
In the world of wine, winemakers normally get all the attention. However, making wines that are true to our region could never happen without a strong team. We’re privileged to find ourselves surrounded by eager and talented people who appreciate our land, vineyards and wines. Every day we learn from each other and are grateful for this shared knowledge.

ROLLO CRITTENDEN

After studying winemaking at Charles Sturt University, then travelling to California, Oregon, Italy and the Hunter Valley to work vintages and learn as much as he could abroad, returning to the Mornington Peninsula in 2003. At the age of 30, he rejoined the family business and worked hand-in-hand with his Dad to reconnect with the vineyard he helped plant as a five year-old.
