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 1877

Sweet-fruited and plush, attractively oaked too, but with a firm, imposing finish. This is a wine to win you over. It tastes of cloves, malt, sweet plum and chocolate and while it has plenty of heft, it’s not syrupy or overdone.

“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.”
