 | | Sileni Estates — one of the showpieces of the Hawke’s Bay wine industry — suffered two severely frost-affected vintages in 2001 and 2003, but was able to crank up the production to 40,000 cases in 2004. |
 | | Sileni is also cultivating Sauvignon Blanc on its Plateau Vineyard, inland at Mangatahi, with a view to producing a softer, more food-friendly wine than the typical Marlborough style. |
 | | Another newcomer to the Sileni range is Riesling, though again only in small quantities, and a Pinot Gris will be added in 2005. |
