Sileni Selection Merlot

A classic, easy drinking Hawkes Bay Sauvignon. Silky tannins give it a soft finish for early drinkability and the depth of fruit gives it the ability to cellar for 4-5 years.

This wine is part hand-plunged, and part pumped-over during fermentation to aid in colour extraction and provide tannin structure. After a period of maceration on skins, the wine is pressed off and run into oak barrles for maturation.
