Garry Crittenden's Pinocchio '06

This range of wines is where Garry and Rollo have a little fun. Well more fun than usual that is. The Pinocchio label is a fertile ground for experimentation; something that the Crittendens enjoy. This enthusiasm is reflected in Pinocchios eclectic range of wines which will appeal to the adventurous and those among us who are willing to branch out and try something new.

Having said this, over the past ten years consumer awareness and appreciation of wines such as Sangiovese and Arneis have expanded beyond recognition in Australia, as wine lovers begin to discover their point of difference from French varietals and their inherent synergy with food. The Pinocchio range of wines are best enjoyed with food and provide those in the company of friends with a wonderful way to discover, learn, experiment and embark upon a wine drinking adventure.
