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.

Building on our legacy of excellence, this 2022 vintage follows our highly regarded 98-point vintages from 2018, 2019, and 2020 - showcasing the standard and consistency of only the best of the best wineries.

The Grenache grapes are sourced from almost 90 year old bush vines in Blewitt Springs. Handpicked from the sandy vineyard, fermented for 10 days with 20% as whole bunch.

AROMA: Aromatic, fresh and floral with rose petal and lavender aromatics along with fresh cherry, and background earthy spice.

TASTE: A medium bodied Grenache that has classic characters savoury cherries and pomegranate, florals and layers of lingering spice. With a line of minerality and fresh acidity through the palate, the wine is structural and refined with fine tannins.

DRINKING WINDOW: Whilst beautiful in its youth, it will age gracefully for the next 8 years.
