The Sileni Cellar Selection Pinot Noir is sourced from Sileni’s cooler Hawke’s Bay vineyards sites. Inland at higher altitude, the Plateau, Springstone and Shand vineyards sit on gravel soils and out on the coast, the Parkhill vineyard sits on clay soils and benefits from the cool ocean breeze. The different characteristics of these sites provide depth and complexity of flavour in the wines. The gravels provide structure, length and perfumed aromatics while the clay soils provide roundness, sweet fruit and savoury characters.

Fermented in closed top stainless steel tanks with gently maceration via rummage and pump-overs to extract colour and tannins. Inoculated with cultured yeasts to promote fruit aromatics, the wine was also co-inoculated for malolactic fermentation during primary which further enhances its fruit forwardness. Only a small portion of oak to highlight aromatics and provide some extra richness to the palate. This wine is bottled early to capture its vibrancy.
