Giesen
Established in 1981 by brothers Theo, Alex and Marcel, Giesen Wines is a proudly owned family business. All the Giesen brothers remain very involved in the business, working closely with the winemaking and vineyard team.And they all still get the same kick out of producing world class wine - the thrill of a new vintage never goes away. Giesen Wines vineyards are situated in Marlborough, New Zealand.
Low yielding grape vines grown in a cool climate is what makes their wine unique. Complex fruit aromas make them enjoyable young, but refreshing acidity gives the wines backbone for long aging in the bottle.
Giesens range of vineyard locations (approximately 40 separate sites this year) not only provide a considerable flavour profile but also allow Giesen to move around the valley harvesting fruit when it’s at its best. These vineyards provide a distinctive style that displays both ripe, tropical fruit and the crisper, green and lively components that are characteristic of Marlborough. The juice is processed under anaerobic conditions and fermented relatively cool in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh vibrant fruit inherent to Sauvignon Blanc.
