Sileni Estates is a family-owned winery located in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand. The winery was founded in 1997 by Graeme Avery, who named the winery after the Sileni, mythical creatures from Greek mythology who were known for their love of wine. The fruit for the Plateau Pinot Noir was sourced predominantly from the Sileni Plateau Vineyard. Soils are free-draining silt over gravels. The vineyard sits at a higher altitude making it substantially cooler and well suited for growing quality Pinot Noir.
Complex aromas of varietal dark berry fruit and florals. The palate is rich with flavours of sweet dark cherry, spice and silky tannins.
Excellent with mushroom risotto, lamb or pasta with truffle and parmesan.
