Tryst Red

2005 Adelaide Hills Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Zinfandel

The Nepenthe Tryst Red, a 2005 vintage, captures the essence of the Adelaide Hills region with its inviting deep red color. This delightful blend showcases the bold character of Cabernet Sauvignon, the richness of Tempranillo, and the vibrant fruitiness of Zinfandel, resulting in a wine that's both complex and harmonious. On the palate, it offers a medium body that balances beautifully with a lively acidity, creating a refreshing experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, with notes of dark berries and hints of spice that dance across the tongue. Tannins are well-structured, offering a firm backbone without overpowering the fruit, while the wine remains dry, allowing for a clean finish that invites another sip. Perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own, the Nepenthe Tryst Red is a compelling expression of its region and varietals.
