Crittenden Awarded Top 100 Winery Status

The Halliday Wine Companion has awarded Crittenden a place in their inaugural Top 100 Wineries.

Announced on Saturday morning, 21 October 2023, the Top 100 Wineries of Australia is a new initiative and we are thrilled to be included in the awards for the very first time.

Out of more than 2,000 wineries in Australia, Crittenden achieved sixty-eighth spot. The listing states:

Crittenden Estate can always be relied upon to produce good or excellent wine across the board. It does traditional wine styles as well or better than most. But the wines to really lift it into the clouds are its Cri de Coeur range, all of which excel, most especially the nutty, quixotic, Savagnin that has promptly risen to icon status in the space of just a few years.

Congratulations to all the wineries included in this impressive list and particularly to Oakridge Wines and those included in the top 10.

We know it takes a lot of work, passion and dedication to achieve great wines consistently every year. As editor Campbell Mattinson explained:

"In short, this is a list of producers who know, in their heart and in their head, that consumers don’t owe them a living. This is a list of producers who are prepared to stake their reputation on every single wine they release."

We're grateful, humble and proud of the work we've done to be included in Australia's Top 100 wineries for 2023.
