Sileni Cellar Selection Pinot Noir, NZ

Sileni Cellar Selection Pinot Noir 2022

PRODUCTION

Grown in cooler Hawke's Bay sub-regions on a variety of soil types. Gravels provide structure, length, and perfumed aromatics, while clay soils provide roundness, sweet fruit, and savoury characters. Grapes were fermented in closed-top stainless steel tanks, with gentle maceration via rummage and pump-overs to extract colour and tannins. Only a small portion of oak was used to highlight aromatics and provide extra richness to the palate.

TASTING NOTE

The nose has an enticing note of freshly baked Bakewell tart, all homemade jam and almonds. In the mouth, it's fresh and bright with a fine almond skin appeal. The wine remains fresh throughout with a lovely, defining acidity, which makes this a great food match.

FOOD MATCH

Crispy duck pancakes; grilled quail; seared salmon or tuna; charcuterie, ham, and other cold meats.
