Handcrafted Malbec from our ‘Christo’s Paddock’ vineyard in Langhorne Creek. A small parcel of fruit was selected from a block of 10 year old vines on ultra premium dirt, just off the Angas River. The wine was barrel-aged for 15 months in seasoned French barriques.

An outstanding Malbec. Medium to full bodied with an impressive intensity of ripe primary fruit flavours that are supported by a soft tannin structure and balancing acidity that will suit medium to long ageing. These flavour sensations give a perfumed and lingering finish. A sweet red fruit mid palate of this wine is outstanding and is a feature of premium Malbec wines.

Named after Mark’s mum who is affectionately nicknamed ‘The Meddler’

“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.”
