Fresh and citrusy Pinot Gris with that Hawke's Bay mineral character.
Production
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.

Meet 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 Greek mythology as the companions of Dionysus, the God of Wine. They celebrated good wine, good food and good company - the holy trinity here at Boutinot. The vineyards and winery are based near Hasting in, Hawke’s Bay - the oldest wine region in New Zealand, on the east coast of the North Island. The wines are precise and fruit-driven, and as well as Pinot Noir and Syrah the range includes a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
