"Beautifully fruited and aromatic, the inviting bouquet shows fresh apple, nectarine, pear and spring blossom aromas, followed by a juicy palate that is pristine and lively. The wine offers excellent vibrancy and intensity, while remaining elegant and poised. A lovely dry rendition offering plenty of tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2017

Succulent stone fruit, pear and citrus flavours with just a hint of spice. The wine has a beautifully balanced acidity and a lingering finish. Serve it lightly chilled.

Pinot Gris is sourced from Sileni’s Hawke’s Bay vineyards with a range of soil types including gravels, silt and clay loam. The different characteristics of these sites provide depth and complexity of flavour in the wines. Grapes are harvested at optimum ripeness and then cool fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain the aromatic fruit. A period of post-ferment lees contact has added texture to the palate. This wine is made for early enjoyment, but may be cellared with confidence.

Food Pairing: Seafood, white meats and Asian cuisine, or enjoy as an aperitif with friends.
