Sileni Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand)
A refreshing New Zealand white wine with an expressive, fruit-led style.
A classic Hunter Valley white built around lemony precision, offering a distinctive alternative to fuller, oak-led styles.
Tyrrell’s Vat 1 is one of the Hunter Valley’s defining Semillons. The 2011 release was described through fresh citrus and lemon-zest character, a foundation that makes the wine particularly suited to seafood. Its interest comes from precision and the way the variety develops in bottle, rather than an overtly rich style. Serve cool and allow it time in the glass.
Grilled white fish or oysters with a little lemon suits its citrus-led foundation. Keep the preparation simple to preserve the wine’s detail.
