Crittenden Zumma Chardonnay 2019

Rollo and Zoe Crittendon are son and daughter of Garry Crittenden, pioneer winemaker of the Mornington Penninsula. They now run the show, producing cool climate Australian wines with a European influence. 

This Australian Chardonnay is the perfect match to a roast chicken with salad, or scallops. It is powerful and rich, but has elegance and style, the oak notes are there, but not too over the top, it is very drinkable and classy.

The 'Estate Range' wines, of which this is one, focuses on French varieties and highlights the Mornington Peninsula’s claim as a leading Chardonnay and Pinot Noir growing region. This, their flagship wine, is vegan, it has been fermented using wild yeasts and aged in oak for ten months. It shows real character now, but will also age for many years. 

This sits alongside quality Chardonnay's from around the world, without breaking the bank.
