The source of the name comes from the Crittenden’s: “The origin of the name Kangerong can be traced back to the mid 1800s when a a local cattle run and homestead adopted the named ‘Kangerong’ as bestowed by the local Aboriginals, the Bunurong People. The surrounding area, now known as the Kangerong basin, is home to our 27 acre family farm”. Winemaker is next generation Rollo Crittenden.
