nepenthe sauvignon blanc



















When you are headed over to early drinks on a warm autumn day in New York, or better yet, a hot summer day, and need a great bottle of wine that doesn't cost $30, Nepenthe is your standard. You can depend on this Australian winemaker to deliver quality. This particular 2004 Sauvignon Blanc from the hills of Adelaide has all the goodness those Aussie's pour so well into their wines. This one does not disappoint.

Color: Clear pale lemon

Nose: Steel and wet stone with a light grapefruit perfume

Taste: Pungent grapefruit and lemon juice with hints of apple and pear. The acid is predicatably strong and bubbliness lingers on the tongue.
