Sileni Estates 2007 Sauvignon Blanc
Quick Overview
Beautifully delicate nose, with plenty of verve and grassy, herbal qualities, but just a hint of mealy richness. The fruit has intense sweetness at first, then that rolling, textural mid-palate comes through. Good acidity.
Product Description
Pale color. Bright aromas of lime, grapefruit pith and licorice. Juicy and supple, with lovely spice character to the flavors of underripe melon and pear. Nothing hard about this Sauvignon Blanc.

| Winemaker Profile | Sileni Estates was born from a long standing interest in wine by Graeme Avery, a pharmaceutical scientist and former owner of medical publishing company, Adis International. In late 1997, along with financial director Chris Cowper and winemaker Grant Edmonds, he established Sileni as an export oriented producer committed to crafting world-class fine wines. The winery 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. The vineyards and winery are based near Hastings, Hawkes Bay, on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It has a southern latitude of 39 degrees and a climate similar to that of some of the great wine regions of the world. Sileni Estates also source grapes from the well known wine producing area of Marlborough, including Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. |
