2015 Alpha Crucis Titan Grenache-Tempranillo

Description

Alpha Crucis wines mainly hail from the The Heritage Vineyard in central McLaren Vale. This site sits on Blanche Point Limestone formed between 56 and 34 million years ago. The soil comprises washed sand over clay, which limits vine vigor and hence reduces the number of grapes on each vine. The vines are on their own roots and trellised on a single cordon with vertical shoot positioning to enable good sunlight and air penetration in the vine canopy. 2015 had some excellent growing conditions in McLaren Vale. All of the grapes had high natural acidity and good structures. Sourced from vineyards as old as 1960, this wine is made to be medium-bodied and versatile. – Importer website
