Sileni

We are translators of the land, allowing our vineyards to express their unique story. Balancing elements of terroir - sun, earth and water.

The art of our winemaking philosophy is one of minimal intervention, allowing the bountiful flavours of New Zealand to be expressed authentically. The story constantly refreshes. We retell it every vintage, each time with its unique nuances.

Our Merlot dominant Bordeaux blend, Rhone-style Syrah, and Semillon tell of the warmer plains at sea level in Hawke’s Bay. Whereas the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and a ripe-style Sauvignon Blanc speak to our cooler higher altitude foothill vineyards and coastal sites.

Our wines have been recognised with a host of national and international awards and medals.
