Silver - China Wine & Spirit Awards 
4.5 stars  - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 


Supplier is clearing out the 2020 vintage of this excellent Hawkes Bay merlot. Ripe blackcurrant and plum aromas with elegant spice notes. Dark berry fruit flavours with excellent depth and roundness and a deliciously soft finish.

The Sileni Cellar Selection Merlot is a blend of parcels sourced from the Sileni Lyons, Wedd, Talbot, JV and Hikumutu vineyards within the Bridge Pa Triangle Winegrowing Region, located on the Heretaunga Plains, Hawke's Bay. The Heretaunga Plains is one of the warmest areas in Hawke's Bay and coupled with the free draining red metal gravels provide the ideal conditions for growing Merlot.

Fermented in closed top stainless steel tanks with gentle 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 proportion of oak to highlight aromatics and provide some extra richness to the palate. This wine is bottled early to capture its vibrancy.

Enjoy with spare ribs, rich pasta or braised beef.

Sileni Cellar Selection (Hawkes Bay) 2020 Merlot
Fills a lovely smooth gap between our committed Syrah drinkers and committed Pinot noir drinkers. The Wine Club loved it!
