Our Sauvignon Blanc ‘Petraea’ is named for the species of oak used in French wine barrels. For over a decade Nepenthe has been a leader in Sauvignon Blanc in Australia.
Featured in Homer's The Odyssey, Ithaca is King Odysseus' beloved homeland. His Ithaca provided a beacon to guide him home during his ten year return from the Trojan Wars. The Adelaide Hills is our Ithaca - our home and our constant source of inspiration.
Passionate admirer of fine Pinot Noir and Patriarch of Nepenthe, Dr Ed Tweddell, derived great pleasure from our Pinot.
Since 1997 we have made one of Australia's rarest wines 'Adelaide Hills Zinfandel' in a unique style that belies the region's cool, wet climate.
Our Gate Block vineyard is located in the hills that rise to the east of the township of Hahndorf.
