Sileni Estates Hawke's Bay New Zealand

Sileni Estates is a major vineyard and winery development in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand's oldest established vineyard area. The first vintage was in 1998 and since then the wines have won world wide acclaim.

Sileni Estates is named after the Sileni who featured in Roman mythology alongside Bacchus, the god of wine. They celebrated good wine, good food and good company.

Sileni boasts a state of the art winery designed to crush over 1500 tonnes of grapes. Our Winemaking Team have honed their winemaking skills in Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, California and Chile and Oregon and we strive to maintain high standards in environmentally sustainable viticultural and winemaking practices. Sileni Estates produce hand crafted wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the vineyards.

Sileni Estates is much more than just a winery - it is an Epicurean Centre and a gourmet foodstore, showcasing the finest Hawke's Bay, New Zealand and international product.

We look forward to welcoming you to Sileni Estates.

Regards
The Sileni Estates Team

SILENI SPARKLING SERIES

Sileni Estates is delighted to announce the introduction of a trio of sparkling wines to our already impressive range.

The wines are a more traditional Sparkling Brut made from Chardonnay, an aromatic Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc and a delicious Sparkling Rose. All three wines are made for current drinking and make great chilled aperitifs. They are just off dry, as sparkling wines go, with subtle flavour and a clean, fresh finish, making them very food friendly as well. We have also finished them with the Zork, a brilliant stopper that can be resealed and won't allow any of the negatives of cork taint or oxidation to ruin the moment. Don't wait for a special occasion - celebrate with a bottle from our new Sparkling Series today!
