Nepenthe Wines

Welcome to Nepenthe Wines

The name Nepenthe is drawn from one of the most famous works of historic Greek poet, Homer. In The Odyssey Homer described Nepenthe as an ancient herbal drink so powerful that it eases grief and banishes sorrow from the mind.

The modern day Nepenthe has made its home in the lofty heights of the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. A stunningly beautiful region with a rolling tapestry of green hills, gum trees, vineyards and orchards.  The combination of cool climate, high altitude, clean air and ancient soils has established the Adelaide Hills as one of the premier regions in Australia.

The Nepenthe wines are crafted to reflect the pristine beauty of the Adelaide Hills, the distinct nuances of the variety and the quirks of each vintage.
Perfect with good food and great friends...    

Crush 2008

Hot! Hot! Hot! ...

After hearing the forecast of 40 degrees for the Adelaide Hills Crush festival we were a little worried everyone might stay home next to the air con. However we were blessed with a great crowd, who took advantage of the shade, slight cool breeze and the ice cold Nepenthe whites.

The Lion provided a gorgeous array of food, with the Cajun dusted calamari a perfect match for our Sauvignon Blanc.

Our fantastic band for the day, The Hiptones, kept the crowd entertained, and even managed to get a few people up dancing!

Thanks to all that attended Crush 2008, we look forward to seeing you there next year, hopefully with the weather a couple degrees cooler.
