Crisp and refreshing, expect vibrant tropical and citrus flavors and freshly cut herbs from this generous Giesen Sauvignon Blanc 2022.

During the winemaking process, it is Giesen's aim to emphasize the vineyards and amplify the varietally expressive fruit. Following gentle extraction, they 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.

From the Estate Range to the Single Vineyard Series, Giesen delivers stylish wines that showcase the riches of Marlborough.

Proudly family-owned by three brothers Theo, Alex and Marcel since 1981. Originally from Germany, today the Giesen brothers are the proprietors of 13 vineyards located throughout the highly sought after Wairau Valley, a subregion of Marlborough. The vineyards spread across the length & breadth of the valley giving a range of grape growing conditions and flavor. 20% of Giesen vineyards are certified organic or in transition.

The Giesens are the leading buyers of German 1,000 liter Fuder barrels in New Zealand. The Fuders are coveted in winemaking for the lees influence (due to large dimension across the bottom of the barrel) as well as the lighter oak toasting – which provides an aromatic sweetness. Giesen is known and respected for showcasing Marborough’s unique vineyard and vintage characteristics and to delivering superb vine-to-bottle quality across the range
