Nepens Altitude Pinot Noir [2021] 750ml/Red

Our motto is “proposing wines to enjoy with food”

Nepens began in the early 1980s when Ed Tweddell, who dreamed of owning a vineyard, purchased land in Lenswood, Adelaide Hills, and planted grapes. The Adelaide Hills, located on the eastern outskirts of Adelaide, is a hilly area at an altitude of 400m, and has attracted attention as a production area for high-quality Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir due to its cool climate.

In the mid-1990s, their son James was involved in grape cultivation while also directing the management of the winery, and in 1997, the Tweddell family welcomed Peter Resk, a lecturer at Roseworthy University who is renowned for cultivation and oenology, as winemaker, and the Tweddell family established their own winery. We released wine under the brand.

Nepenthe wines have been popular since early on, with wine critic James Halliday rating Nepenthe four-and-a-half stars (out of five stars) in the 2001 edition of his classic book, The Australian & New Zealand Wine Competition, ranking it among the most exciting. I highly praised it as one of the newer wineries.

In addition to Lenswood, we have expanded to Charleston, Balhaner, and Hahndorf, and currently own approximately 130 ha of our own fields.

adelaide hills

Located approximately 10km east of Adelaide, the area is surrounded by hills at an altitude of 400m. There is a large difference in temperature between day and night, and even in the summer months the nights can be cold, which means that the grapes retain high acidity, giving the wine its characteristic acidity, which is a trademark of the Adelaide Hills. Although it is a relatively new production area, it is one that has established a reputation for its sharp Sauvignon Blanc from early on.

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are mainly cultivated, but the warmer regions in the north are planted with Cabernet, Shiraz, and Merlot, and the cool and warm microclimate allows for the creation of a variety of wine types. It is also a successful producer of sparkling wine because it produces grapes with high acidity.

It has aromas of red berries such as raspberries and cherries, with accents of spices and herbs, and a refreshing taste. Spicy oak and bright fruit flavors with soft tannins. It is made from grapes grown in three of our own vineyards located in the central, high-altitude region of the cool Adelaide Hills.
