Impressive benchmark white wine from top producer Nepenthe and another indication of the excellent wines from Adelaide Hills, this well-made Sauvignon Blanc wine has a clear pale yellow color with greenish tones, citrus, mineral and floral nose and generous flavors of tart grapefruit, peaches and grass with a touch of herbs; match this refreshing and stimulating wine with a variety of shellfish including Taiwanese deep-fried oysters, baby abalone and stewed eel; Nepenthe Wines specializes in high altitude viticulture and makes highly respected wines.
