Grape

Sauvignon Blanc

Origin
From the cool, high altitude, famous for its Sauvignon Blanc, the Adelaide Hills region in South Australia. Nepenthe has been producing Sauvignon Blanc since 1997.
Taste
Aromas of passionfruit and pineapple are complemented by delicate floral notes, whilst the full-flavoured yet fresh and lively palate is brimming with sweet tropical fruit that lingers on and on.
Enjoy
Fresh seafood or goat's cheese would be great food matches for this delightfully balanced and pleasantly complex wine.

    Delightful

    Fruity and full flavoured but most of all, delicate. Some Sauvignon Blancs try too hard and smack you in the mouth but their acidity can be over-powering. Not this one; it's a real winner

Staff Reviews

  • "Nepenthe! It's described in Homer's 'The Odyssey' as a drink so powerful that it eased grief and banished sorrow from the mind! Well, it certainly does that when 'Strictly come Ice Skating in the jungle get me out of here' is on the tele! Believe me, if you're made to watch reality TV like everyone else you need a wine like this to help you through it. Its elegant, lively with fresh tropical fruit and a great zesty length. So get yourself some Nepenthe and you'll never fall victim to the grief and sorrow of reality TV ever again."

Press Reviews

  • "Brilliant lively exotic fruit with crisp underlying acidity. Delightfully fresh, but definitely not sharp."

  • "Picking up a trophy in the under £10 dry white category at this year's Decanter World Wine Awards, this cool Adelaide Hills wine from winemaker Michael Fogarty has terrific aromatic quality and depth of fruit concentration, with all the refreshingly gooseberryish tropical fruit flavours and zesty acidity you could possibly ask for from an Aussie sauvignon blanc. "
