Winery & Vintage Info

For more than three decades the Giesen brothers have created great wines that people around the world love.

Our Estate wines showcase distinctive regional varieties which are generous, smooth, relaxing and most of all taste great. Treat yourself or enjoy with family and friends.

Fruit for the Giesen Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2023 vintage is chosen from these two renowned Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc regions to create a delicious, expressive wine. Fruit from the Wairau Valley brings bright tropical fruit underlined by acidity. Awatere Valley fruit provides richness and depth with notes of herb and a dry finish.

Favourable weather conditions ensured a successful growing season in Marlborough. Throughout the season, rainfall reached 95% of the long term average ensuring good water supply. With variable weather conditions, this gave low to moderate yields across Marlborough’s sub-regions which resulted in looser bunches and ensured quality fruit. Dry weather during the harvest period meant the fruit was picked at optimal ripeness, enabling the varietal characteristics to shine through. Sauvignon Blanc fruit benefited from the cooler evenings, resulting in slow flavour accumulation and vibrant natural acidity.

During the winemaking process, it is Giesen's aim to emphasise the vineyards and amplify the varietally expressive fruit Following gentle extraction, we start with adding carefully selected yeasts to the juice to start fermentation. These yeasts were chosen to help build texture, weight and aromatics. Parcels of fruit were batch fermented, and then blended to create a wine that has wonderful fruit expression, and a great balance between subtle natural sweetness and classic Marlborough acidity.
