Discover Sileni Plateau Grand Reserve Pinot Noir
Indulge in the rich tapestry of flavors offered by the Sileni Plateau Grand Reserve Pinot Noir, a premium wine emanating from the heart of New Zealand’s oldest wine region, Hawke’s Bay. Curated by the renowned Sileni Estates, this wine embodies the harmonious balance between nature and innovation, all while preserving the authentic character of the Pinot Noir grape.
Origin and Craftsmanship
Founded in 1997, Sileni Estates has firmly positioned itself as a transformation beacon in New Zealand’s wine industry. Nestled in Hastings, the winery was founded by Graeme Avery along with partners Chris Cowper and Grant Edmonds. Today, it spans approximately 297 acres, practicing sustainable viticulture under the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand framework. Their commitment is reflected in meticulous vineyard management, including innovative practices like sheep grazing for natural weed control and soil enrichment.
The Vineyards of Hawke’s Bay
Hawke’s Bay offers a warm yet balanced climate ideal for grape cultivation. With elevated, free-draining vineyard sites, primarily featuring gravel, clay, and limestone soils, these vineyards produce high-caliber, complex wines. Although the region is famed for Syrah and Bordeaux varieties, the unique plateau sites earmark their own legacy with exceptional Pinot Noirs.
Viticulture and Winemaking Excellence
At the heart of this Pinot Noir lies a vineyard philosophy steeped in craftsmanship and care. The Sileni team prioritizes low-yield vineyards that nourish robust flavors and character intensity. Each grape is handpicked to ensure quality selection, followed by small-batch fermentation techniques that enhance the varietal’s distinctive profile. The use of French oak barrels further instills a nuanced texture, enriching its luscious complexity without overshadowing the innate fruit purity.
Tasting Notes
Opening with a medium-ruby hue, the Sileni Plateau Grand Reserve mesmerizes with aromatic layers of dark cherry, violet, and subtle clove spice. On the palate, anticipate a symphony of sweet cherry and ripe plum, balanced by silky tannins and a medium body, culminating in an enduring finish. This Pinot Noir is celebrated for its elegance and impeccable integration of fruit, acidity, and tannins, establishing it as a hallmark of Hawke’s Bay Pinot Noir.
The Sileni Legacy
Beyond vineyards, Sileni Estates’ portfolio is expansive, including diverse varietals like Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Chardonnay. Their global reach is impressive, with wines available in over 80 countries, attesting to a dedication not only to wine excellence but also to international appreciation.
Pairing Perfection and Longevity
This Pinot Noir’s versatility is noteworthy. Whether paired with duck breast, roast pork, or wild mushroom risotto, its balanced acidity enriches varied culinary experiences. While accessible in its youth, its structure promises an ageing potential of up to 8 years, with its flavors evolving to reveal even greater complexity.
