Giesen Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024
"Upfront and fabulously aromatic, the wine shows green rockmelon, crunchy apple, fresh fig, and lime zest aromas. The palate displays excellent fruit power with fine texture and lively acidity, making it flavoursome and delightfully drinkable" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2025
The Giesen Estate Sauvignon Blanc is a showcase of the famed Marlborough wine region. The wine that enchanted the world. This Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is Crisp and refreshing, expect vibrant tropical and citrus flavours and freshly cut herbs from this generous Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. A great balance between subtle natural sweetness and classic Marlborough acidity.
We select fruit from vineyards throughout the Wairau Valley and Awatere Valley in the Marlborough wine region. This scope gives us the ability to consistently blend to our Giesen style year in, year out.
The fruit we select from the Wairau Valley adds brightness, tropical and citrus flavours, as well as tighter acidity to our Giesen Estate Sauvignon Blanc blend.
Compared to the Wairau Valley, the Awatere Valley is slightly cooler, drier, windier with higher elevation. The fruit selected from the Awatere Valley for this wine adds fullness, richness, the tropical notes are more grilled, herbal notes are more dry.
The Wairau Valley portion of our Giesen Estate Sauvignon Blanc wine forms the backbone of the blend. Historically, the Wairau Valley is where the first Sauvignon Blanc wines came from, this is where our first vintage of Sauvignon Blanc came from, it is the Wairau Valley where we own 13 vineyards and source the majority of the fruit for our Sauvignon Blanc wines.
As soon as the fruit arrives in the winery the fruit is de-stemmed and gently pressed.
Specially selected yeasts are added to the juice to start fermentation which takes approximately three weeks at temperatures between 12 - 16 deg.C.
