Our bush vine Grenache is contour planted on a south facing slope overlooking the ocean in the Seaview sub region of McLaren Vale. The vines are selectively hand pruned, shoot thinned and hand harvested. A stylish, soft and generous wine, yet subtle with powerful flavours.

Fresh raspberry and dark plum fruit aromas mingle with sweet spice and delicate vanilla and cedar aromas. A lovely medium bodied wine where the ripe red fruit flavours impress on the mid palate and add “fruit sweetness” that lingers. The acid and subtle tannins play their role in adding velvety texture and a refreshing finish. Before release this wine is matured in French oak puncheons for 10 months (15% new) and then a period in bottle. Cellar for 5-8 years.

Ace of Trumps is a tribute to my family’s racehorse, which won the Adelaide cup in 1874.

TASTING NOTES

VINTAGE COMPARISON

For an address with such a quiver of shirazand cabernet, it is a pleasure to taste the sole grenache. I like this. It is rich, dense and far away from the aspirational motif of Gredos, Spain, that many strive toward. Successfully, mind you. But here, a darker brood. Visions more of the southern Rhone. Full weighted, yet impressively fresh. Brimming with molten raspberry bonbon, aniseed, pepper, clove, grilled meats and lavender.

“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.”
