About Nepenthe Altitude Tempranillo 2023
This Adelaide Hills Tempranillo opens with an inviting bouquet of fresh red cherry, dried herbs, and a subtle earthy undertone that speaks to its cool-climate origins. On the palate, vibrant raspberry and plum fruit are framed by fine-grained tannins and lively acidity, with a touch of leather and warm spice adding complexity. The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering red fruit and a gentle savoury note that is quintessentially Tempranillo.
