Small berries, low yields and open bunches characterise the Shiraz grown on Christo’s Paddock. These old vines produce grapes with great flavour intensity and richness, which are hand selected before being gently pressed. Once the fermentation was complete the wine was pressed into a combination of new (40%) and old French oak barrels, where it matured for 18 months. Expect red and black berries, licorice and dark chocolate with a toasty, savoury edge and soft round tannins providing great structure and length.

TASTING NOTES

VINTAGE COMPARISON

Reviews

It knows when to push and when to ease off. The intensity levels of licorice, blackberry and saltbush-like flavours are dramatic in an in-your-face way, but the seductive slips of coffee-cream oak and red berried flavour are delivered at just the right moments. Tannin helps fuse the various components. It’s big, and it’s (very) good.

“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.”
