Tasting notes:
The nose has an enticing note of freshly baked Bakewell tart, all homemade jam and almonds. In the mouth, it's fresh and bright with a fine almond skin appeal. The wine remains fresh throughout with a lovely defining acidity which makes this a great food match.
About the wine:
The 106 hectares of vineyards overseen by Vineyard Manager Ritchie Garnham, combined with another 50 hectares of supply vineyards, allow Sileni to select the best grapes for their wines.
Sileni has a State of the art winery. The grapes are vinified using high tech and traditional methods. Pressing is with gentle air bag presses, fermentation temperature is carefully controlled, in stainless steel and cool cellar wooden barrels.
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:
Crispy duck pancakes; grilled quail; seared salmon or tuna; charcuterie, ham and other cold meats.
