”Such a beautiful and expressive medium bodied Shiraz from McLaren Vale. Alpha Crucis is the brightest star in the Southern Cross, which seems perfectly apt for a wine of such energy and brilliance. The colour exudes luminosity and brightness while the nose delivers a burst of shimmering red fruit. Red fruits on the palate are supported by lively chalky tannins and well-managed oak. Has a beautiful energy that carries effortlessly through to a long finish.”
