Discover Nepenthe’s 2022 Apex Series

The Ultimate Expression of Adelaide Hills Winemaking

24 Aug 2024

We are proud to introduce the 2022 vintage of our flagship range, APEX, featuring Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Shiraz. The Apex range is a true representation of our commitment to regional excellence, capturing the essence of the Adelaide Hills in every bottle. Crafted with minimal intervention, each wine in the Apex series highlights the unique characteristics of its single clone, single site, and single vintage, delivering a pure expression of varietal identity and site-specific nuances.

Winemaker James Evers describes the 2022 Apex series as embodying elegant varietal expressions with remarkable persistence on the palate. "The wines reveal the full potential of our cool climate region," says Evers. "The consistently mild weather during the 2022 growing season, combined with sunny days and cool temperatures, allowed the fruit to ripen evenly, resulting in exceptional fruit depth and natural acidity."
