    Winemaker Notes

    This is a blend from five vineyards displaying considerable fruit intensity from a low yielding Canterbury vintage. Clear, settled juice was fermented to dryness then left on yeast lees to improve ëmouthfeelí. Ideal conditions for botrytis formation later in vintage produced fully botrytised fruit that was fermented separately then blended back to provide the residual sugar desired and the distinctive botrytis character that improves with time.

    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
