Nepenthe Tryst Red Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 Adelaide Hills - 12 Bottles

Both the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon fruit was sourced from warmer vineyard sites within the Adelaide GI to produce a fruit-driven style of wine. Fruit was machine harvest and rapidly transported to the winery for crushing. The wine underwent partial ferment in open top fermenters which better allow for winemaker intervention and control throughout the process than stainless steel. Six months aging in old, seasoned French and American oak barrels added a delicate oak flavour. The wine was then blended according to taste. Colour: Ruby red with a crimson hue Bouquet: Ripe, raspberry and blackberry aromas combined with subtle spice and savoury notes from seasoned oak aging. Palate: The palate is luscious and rich with ripe red and black berry fruit flavours from the Shiraz complemented by savoury blackberry notes from Cabernet Sauvignon.                   Tannins are soft and flavours are lingering.
