Sileni Estates
Sileni Estates produces wines from Hawke's Bay, New Zealand's North Island. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: Straits Grand Reserve Sauvignon Blanc, Plateau Grande Reserve Pinot Noir, and The Lodge Chardonnay. Hawke's Bay's warm, sheltered climate and diverse soils support both aromatic whites and structured reds. Sauvignon Blanc thrives in the region's temperate conditions, developing the varietal's characteristic intensity and minerality. Pinot Noir benefits from the area's moderate ripening season, which preserves acidity and complexity. Chardonnay finds expression across the region's varied terroirs. The winery's wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, Wine Advocate, and Decanter.
