Sileni Estates is a renowned winery located in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand. The winery was established in 1997 by Graeme Avery, a fifth-generation winemaker who had a vision to produce premium quality wines that would showcase the unique terroir of Hawke's Bay and New Zealand. Today, Sileni Estates is one of the largest privately-owned wineries in Hawke's Bay, with a reputation for producing exceptional wines that are enjoyed around the world.
The winery is committed to sustainable and environmentally-friendly practices, and it has received several certifications for its sustainable viticulture and winemaking practices. Sileni Estates produces a wide range of wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. The winery is also known for its innovative winemaking techniques, including a unique "micro-oxygenation" process that enhances the flavor and texture of its wines.
The 2019 vintage of Sileni Estates Exceptional Vintage Pinot Noir is expected to be a complex and elegant wine with a medium body and silky tannins. It is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, which are grown on the estate's vineyards in the Dartmoor Valley and Maraekakaho sub-regions of Hawke's Bay.
The wine is aged for 10 months in French oak barrels before being bottled. It is known for its aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, and spice, as well as a hint of earthy notes. On the palate, it is smooth and supple, with flavors of red fruit, vanilla, and a touch of oak.
Sileni Estates Exceptional Vintage Pinot Noir is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods, including grilled meats, game, and mushroom dishes. It is also a great wine to enjoy on its own, as its complexity and depth make it a wine worth savoring.
