Sileni Estates is a major vineyard and winery development in Hawk’s Bay, New Zealand’s oldest established vineyard area. The first vintage was in 1998 and since then the wines have won world wide acclaim.

Sileni Estates 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.

Sileni boasts a state of the art winery designed to crush over 1500 tons of grapes. Our Winemaking Team have honed their winemaking skills in Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, California, Chile and Oregon, striving to maintain high standards in environmentally sustainable viticulture and winemaking practices. Sileni Estates produce hand crafted wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the vineyards.

The vineyards and winery are based near Hastings, Hawke’s Bay, on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It has a southern latitude of 39° and a climate similar to that of some of the great wine regions of the world.
