Specially selected from a small patch of the Ace of Trumps Vineyard in McLaren Vale. This portion of the vineyard was hand manicured from pruning through shoot and fruit thinning to produce a very special parcel of grapes. After hand harvesting, crushing and fermentation the wine was matured in seasoned and new French oak barriques for 16 months. Further barrel selection has resulted in the finest expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz from this vineyard in the Seaview sub-region, an area renowned for producing intense and sophisticated red wines that age exceptionally well.

The wine is deep ruby in colour with intense layered red fruit aromas, soft velvety tannins and generous mouth filling flavours that linger on the palate.

This outstanding wine will impress when young but will cellar for 10-20+ years to come.

TASTING NOTES

VINTAGE COMPARISON

Reviews

97 points
Brooding aromatics – grainy, toasty French oak – black and red fruits – iron-stone and graphite. It’s intense on the palate – driven by pristine fruit carried by quality oak. The calibre of this wine is immediately apparent. Tightly wound and set to unfurl for decades to come. Would love to know what the yield was – certainly Grade A in my opinion. Exceptional.

2018 Ace of Trumps Grand Vin Shiraz Magnum

“Ace of Trumps 2018 shows real depth and intent. There’s intensity, but also restraint dark berries, spice and a beautiful structure that holds everything together. It drinks beautifully now, but you can tell it will reward patience. A standout wine that lives up to its name.”
