Nepenthe The Tryst White 2005
Varietal: Bordeaux White Blends
Vineyard: Nepenthe Vineyards
Region: South Australia, Australia
While the heart of the wine is the much-admired Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc (which provides the distinctive tropical nose and palate), backed up by Semillon (adding the fine palate structure and delicate herbal edges), a touch of Pinot Gris contributes roundness and spice which lifts the blend to a notch above the ordinary.
Enjoy it now, for its powerful fruit-driven aroma, and crisp, dry yet full-flavored palate.
