Crisp, fresh flavours of cirtus and stone fruit, with lively fresh bubbles.

The Sparkling Brut is grown in a variety of vineyards with a range of soil types including gravels, silt and clay loam. The different characteristics of these sites provide depths and complexity of flavour in this wine.

After harvest at optimum ripeness the fruit is gently pressed, then cool fermented in stainless steel tanks. Post ferment, it is left for short period on grooss lees to develop texture and mouth-feel. It is then blended and bottled while young and fresh. Prior to bottling the wine is chilled down and carbonated. It is this carbonation that provides the lively, refreshing bubbles.

In ancient Greece the Sileni were companions of Dionysus, the god of wine, vineyards and theatre. When there was something to be celebrated, the Sileni were always on hand to encourage enjoyment of delicious food, great wine and social interaction. Named in their honour, Sileni Estates produces a range of wines made to be great collaborators, with a talent for enhancing flavours and textures.

Food Pairing: Serve well chilled, it is excellent as an aperitif, or enjoy with oysters or smoked salmon.
