Tasting notes:
The Cellar Selection Pinot Gris has classic aromatic peach flavours along with beautifully balanced acidity and a long finish.
About the wine:
Grown on a variety of soil types including gravels, silt and loam which provide depth and complexity of flavour. Grapes were destemmed and gently pressed, then fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain their natural fruit characters. A period of post-ferment lees contact has added texture to the palate.
About the producer:
Sileni Estates was born from a long standing interest in wine by Graeme Avery. In late 1997, along with financial director Chris Cowper and winemaker Grant Edmonds, he established Sileni as an export oriented producer, committed to crafting world-class fine wines.
The winery is named after the Sileni who featured in Roman mythology alongside Bacchus, the God of Wine. They celebrated good wine, good food and good company. The vineyards and winery are based near Hastings, Hawke’s Bay - the oldest wine region in New Zealand - on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand.
It has a southern latitude of 39° and a climate similar to that of some of the great wine regions of the world. Sileni Estates also source grapes from the well known wine producing area of Marlborough, including Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.
Food match:
Delicious with grilled scallops drizzled with lemon and a light sprinkle of cracked pepper and sea salt.
