Hear from James Halliday, Australia's preeminent wine authority -

"Grenache seldom has a colour this brilliant. From 85-year-old bush vines in Blewitt Springs, the wine looks down its haughty nose, daring anyone to challenge it. It brings together every red berry of forest or field, with a splash of acidity you would normally find in Riesling. Drink to 2062."

Released only in years that meet our uncompromising standards, Alpha Crucis wines are a testament to our dedication and passion. Each of these exceptional wines reflects the unique character of its specific terroir and our unwavering commitment to quality and varietal integrity.
