Wine Summary Image

Alpha Crucis is the brightest star in the Southern Cross constellation, the most conspicuous star formation visible from the Southern Hemisphere. It is often abbreviated to A-Crux (or Cross) or simply denoted with the symbol.

Alpha Crucis wines are an extension of this maxim, aspiring to be the best and brightest wines from our vineyards and to reflect a sense of place and our efforts in the vineyard and winery.

Alpha Crucis wines are only released in those years that satisfy our uncompromising principles of quality and varietal integrity. Consequently production of the wines may not occur in years where the climate or vintage conditions challenge these principles.

  • Corrina Wright

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

The Winemakers’ Series examines the influence of a winemaker on how a wine may taste. Six winemakers were tasked with making a wine autonomously, in a style of their choosing and sourced from the same vineyard. The winemakers needed to determine several factors; the date of harvest, the technique and method of fermenting and the means of maturing the wine to reflect their individual preferences.

Our goal was to explore how a winemaker would affect a parcel of grapes compared to five of their contemporaries, including whether or not gender may be an identifiable influence. To that end three female and three male winemakers are represented.

As tempting as it may be to rank these wines in terms of quality, this was not the aim of the initiative. Rather, the winemakers’ objective was to make a wine that reflects their winemaking philosophy in a style they find enjoyable.
