Here’s what James Suckling had to say:
Sileni Cut Cane Merlot 2024
— 92 Points
“Lush and supple, offering plums, cherries, a touch of cocoa and cedar, with meaty and tarry complexity. Medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. The smooth, even finish shows impressive depth and freshness.”
Sileni Triangle Merlot 2024
— 92 Points
“Racy with dark fruits and a savoury lift, showing berries, black olives, iodine and subtle spices. Medium to full-bodied with polished texture framing the generous fruit core. Balanced and lingering.”
Sileni Straits Sauvignon Blanc 2025
— 91 Points
“Rounded and easy going with melons, limes, a touch of tropical fruit and flint. Medium-bodied with a crisp mouthfeel and lively acidity. Straightforward and neatly balanced through the finish with some zesty character.”
Sileni Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc 2025
— 90 Points
“This bright, tropical white has aromas of passionfruit, star fruit and kiwifruit. Medium-bodied with a fresh finish.”
Sileni Advocate Albariño 2025
— 90 Points
“Juicy and refreshing, showing spiced pears, underripe peaches, hints of white blossoms and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, bright and crunchy with a backbone of lively acidity. Easy and flavourful.”
