2014 Alpha Crucis Winemakers Series Mike Brown Shiraz

96 points, Australian Wine Companion 2017

‘Destemmed, crushed, open-fermented, wild yeast, 16 days on skins, matured in new and used French barriques for 18 months. Ticks all the boxes from the word go, the bouquet promising the balance of fruit and oak that follows on the elegant and long palate. Delivers its message without any self-doubt. The most classic of the Alpha Crucis series. Drink to 2034'.

2014 Alpha Crucis Winemakers Series Corrina Wright Shiraz

95 points, Australian Wine Companion 2017

‘Destemmed and crushed, 3 days cold soak, open-fermented, wild yeast, basket-pressed to American (25% new) and French (used) hogheads for completion of fermentation and maturation, bottled Aug'15. Medium-bodied, it has warm scents and flavours derived in part from the fruit and in part from American Oak. Very good length and a supple finish. Drink to 2034'.

2014 Alpha Crucis Winemakers Series Tom Harvey Shiraz

95 points, Australian Wine Companion 2017

‘Destemmed, 3 days cold soak, pressed to new French hotheads and puncheons to complete fermentation and maturation, bottled Aug '15. One of the most elegant of the group, roughly allied with that of Mike Brown. Obvious new French oak plays a major role, amplified by concluding the ferment in that oak, a technique I started using in '73 at Brokenwood, then Coldstream Hills (since '85), so I am a biased witness.  Drink to 2034'.

2014 Alpha Crucis Winemakers Series Bec Willson Shiraz

95 points, Australian Wine Companion 2017

‘Crushed, 24 hours cold soak, fermented on skins for 11 days, pressed to used French (75%) and American barriques for completion of fermentation and maturation, bottled Aug '15. Excellent colour; a strikingly complex is matched by a very full-bodied palate, throbbing with black fruits, pulled into line with the completion of fermentation in barrel. Drink to 2034'.

2014 Alpha Crucis Winemakers Series Steve Grimley Shiraz

95 points, Australian Wine Companion 2017

‘Destemmed, open-fermented for 9 days with a further 7 days on skins, matured in French barriques (20% new). The powerful black fruits of the bouquet and palate are in the same camp as that of Bec Willson; also has a delicious interplay with liquorice and a flick of dark chocolate. Drink to 2034'.

2014 Alpha Crucis Winemakers Series Peter Schell Shiraz

95 points, Australian Wine Companion 2017

‘Destemmed, 40% whole bunches, wild-fermented, 14 days on skins, matured in French barriques (25% new). Pete Schell plays on the wild side with the alcohol (but is not alone on this) and gets away with it, whole bunches and French oak providing cool breezes - magically ending up with an elegant finish. Drink to 2034'.
