A small parcel of fruit from old vines next to the Angas River was hand selected for our Cabernet Sauvignon. Bunches were selectively picked, crushed and left on skins for seven days. The wine was aged for 18 months in a combination of 35% new and old French oak barrels.

This is an outstanding example of Cabernet Sauvignon with a classic ripe palate with strong blackcurrant red fruit flavours balanced by fresh acidity and sweet, noble, velvety, drying and satisfying tannins. Drink now or cellar for 20+ years

TASTING NOTES

VINTAGE COMPARISON

Reviews

96 points
Deep red colour with a good purple tint. The aromas are crushed-leafy and berrylike, with sappy and slightly grippy tannins. It’s quite aromatic. An intense, fullbodied cabernet, with solid tannins and a touch of elegance. It’s cellarworthy.

“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.”
