Natalie's Score: 92/100

Sileni Straits Grand Reserve 2019 Sauvignon Blanc is produced from sustainably-grown wine grapes sourced from a variety of soil types in the Marlborough. Gravels provided the wine's, ripe peach and tropical fruit notes with clay loamy soils giving the wine its herbaceous, citrusy, mineral notes. The wine juice was cool-fermented in stainless-steel tanks to retain its pure and fresh fruit flavours. It was then left to rest on its lees to develop texture and complexity. The wine came by its name from Greek mythology where the Sileni were companions of Dionysus, the Greek God of wine, vineyards and theatre and were always on hand to celebrate and to enjoy these.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: crab cakes, zucchini and spring onion patties, grilled chicken breasts with herbed butter.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
