This wine is a fine example of McLaren Vale Shiraz. Hand harvested and matured in new and seasoned French oak barriques for 16 months. The wine has a deep ruby colour, intense plum/raspberry aromas and plush velvety tannins that build on the palate to give a very long finish. The stylish French oak adds subtle cedar and smoky notes that marry with the fruit flavours to create an appealing complexity in such a young wine.

This wine is very enjoyable now but will reward patient cellaring for 10-20 years.

‘Ace of Trumps’ is a tribute to our family’s race horse, which won the Adelaide cup in 1876

TASTING NOTES

VINTAGE COMPARISON

Reviews

95 points
Matured in French oak (30% new) for 10 months. A full-bodied shiraz with layers of purple and black fruits, ripe tannins throughout and lashings of oak. Its components are balanced, and a long future awaits.

“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.”
