New Zealand Oceania - Pacific

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Straight from the oldest wine region of New Zealand, Hawke’s Bay, this wine is rich and intensely flavored. Residual sugars are left purposefully in the wine, the New Zealand take on this grape wine originally from the Loire Valley of France. In classic Kiwi style, it has strong aromas of gooseberry and passion fruit, plus a mouth-filling palate with fine acidity and a beautifully long finish.

PAIRINGS

New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs cross from west to east when it comes to pairings. They favor herbaceous foods, filled with dill, coriander, and—in particular—mint. Salads with ripe tomatoes, peppers, goat cheese, and tropical food go very well with it. This is a perfect wine for grilled fish and seafood, especially the saltwater varieties. The hint of sweetness in it matches perfectly with Asian-style seafood dishes full of zingy flavors or citric marinades. Try it with garlic prawns or next to anything on a Thai menu and you won’t regret it.

CONSCIENCIOUS WINEMAKING

Sileni Estates crafts wines that are perfect for food pairings, designed to bring out the best in each type of cuisine they’re served with. The wintery prides itself on being a collaborator with skills for enhancing flavors and textures already there. It is one of the few wineries in the world certified for sustainable business practices and holds ISO 14001 accreditation. It is also a member of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand.
