The Essence of Hawke’s Bay
Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand’s oldest wine region, provides the ideal environment for Bordeaux varieties like Merlot. Defined by its warm maritime climate and gravel soils, the area is perfect for creating vibrant, fruit-forward wines. These natural conditions, combined with a sustainable approach to winemaking, result in a Merlot that is as environmentally conscious as it is delicious.

Sileni Cellar Selection Merlot is celebrated for its deep ruby red color which alludes to a rich tapestry of flavors. On the nose, discover enticing aromas of ripe plums, black cherries, and hints of mocha. The palate is graced with juicy red and dark fruits such as plum, cherry, and blackberry, enhanced by soft, velvety tannins that contribute to a balanced acidity and a smooth finish.

From sheep grazing to reduce weeds naturally to employing low-mow grasses that conserve soil health, every method serves to enrich the land and minimize impact. The winery’s ISO 14001 certification further demonstrates its dedication to preserving the environment.
Perfect Pairings
This wine’s versatility makes it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes.
