ACES Wine

Nature deals some fine cards to the Okanagan's vineyards.

But perfect grapes - like perfect poker hands - are rare indeed.

ACES' Holger Clausen holds the cards: he knows how and where to source the Valley's best varietals. As the Okanagan's preeminent independent harvester, his knowledge of the Valley's terroir - and his relationships with growers - is without parallel.

ACES bets large on a select few partners who hand-cultivate extraordinary small plots within the Okanagan's most expensive terroir: the "blue chip" benches of Oliver, Osoyoos and Naramata. When fruit is anything short of perfect, ACES never bluffs - it simply folds on that year's varietal… and awaits Nature's next deal.

ACES' growers adhere to a labour-intensive, low-yield regimen. Obsessive attention wins small but super-select yields of unparalleled flavour - one and a half to two tonnes per acre. ACES' grapes are second to none.

Superlative fruit enables ACES to craft a winning hand of remarkable wines:

• Straight Flush Blush. Thrillingly fruit-filled flavour to keep taste buds in the pink.
• Seven Deuce White. Balanced and refined off-dry loveliness at a winning price point.
• Seven Deuce Red. A HUGE red blend, consummately aged and blended to satiate.
