Giesen (Marlborough) 2017 Clayvin Chardonnay

Giesen (Marlborough) 2017 The Brothers Late Harvest 375ml

Always a big medal winner infact a whopping 25 gold medals and 14 trophies over the last three vintages.

This is the latest release of this special wine.

"Sauvignon Blanc fruit for this wine from our Alma St Vineyard in the Wairau Valley, Marlborough. The vineyard is netted to protect it, which allows the grapes to hang on the vine for longer. Eventually the fruit shrivels which gives the concentrated sugars late harvest wines are known for. This is when the fruit is ready for hand picking, normally late May.

Grape-stomping is part of the method of maceration used in traditional winemaking. Rather than using a wine press, grapes are crushed by having barefoot participants repeatedly stomp on them in vats to release their juices and begin fermentation. Our cellar team love making this wine - it's a fun day stomping on the grapes!"

Aromas of passionfruit, guava and honeysuckle with a luscious, concentrated palate exuding vibrant tropical fruit flavours.  A must-try wine.

Giesen (Marlborough) 2020 The Brothers Pinot Noir

A generous Pinot Noir from Marlborough’s Southern Valleys, with rich dark cherry and tart currant flavours, a subtle spice and elegant floral notes leaping from the glass. A more ‘masculine’ style than the previous year, this vintage’s bold flavours meld with a crisp acidity to provide poise on the palate, and fine grain tannin add focus to the beautifully lingering finish.

A classic style of Chardonnay with stacks of luscious ripe peach and nectarine. Fresh and vibrant with a luscious texture, a luscious texture and a spicy cedar finish with generous oak influence.

2020 vintage was exceptionally warm and dry, enabling fruit to ripen with excellent flavours. Fruit was sourced from grower vineyards around Hawke’s Bay, where the maritime climate is perfect for slowly ripening Chardonnay and promoting fruit intensity and freshness.

Giesen Estate (Marlborough) 2019 Pinot Noir

This is a Pinot Noir with wonderful red cherry, spices, bramble fruit and lifted florals. The fine tannins balance well with its acid backbone creating a generous, smooth wine

The fruit we select from the Wairau Valley gives the blend bright red fruit flavours. Compared to the Wairau Valley, the Awatere Valley is cooler at night giving fruit with intense dark colour and wild herb complexity

Giesen Estate (Marlborough) 2022 Sauvignon Blanc

Giesen Estate (NZ) 2021 Pinot Gris

Each parcel of Pinot Gris is harvested at optimum ripeness. Short skin contact adds flavour and texture to the wine. Fermented in stainless steel tanks, we used very select aromatic yeasts to make the wine more intense. We stopped the ferment early to retain a small amount of acidity and natural sugar to give the wine it’s off-dryness. The wine was held on lees for two months to help build mouth feel & texture, then blended and bottled.

Giesen Estate (NZ) 2021 Riesling

Giesen Gemstone (Marlborough) 2021 Riesling

5 Stars, No.1 & Best Buy Cuisine Riesling Tasting, February 2021 (2018 Vintage)

"Giesen are known for excellent Riesling, with a reputation for producing the top selling Riesling in New Zealand. Thanks to the bounty of the 2020 harvest we have been able to create a unique, limited release Riesling using grapes from Awatere Valley. We fermented and matured a portion of the blend in granite.

Expect elderflower and lime on the nose with subtle tropical fruit. The palate bursts with sweet mandarin and lemon sherbet. Tight acidity gives the wine a delicious raciness, while the textured palate and residual sweetness provide richness and a finish that is balanced and moreish."

This wee Gem of a wine sure packs a punch!

Giesen Organic (Marlborough) 2016 Syrah

Think Giesen are all about cheapie white wines. Think again, we were in awe of this top notch Syrah from The best site in Marlborough. Buy this and you wont regret it.

Intriguing from the moment the bottle is opened the appeal of this premium organic Syrah is obvious from its elegant aromatics. Savour its violet floral and black pepper on the nose, followed on the palate by layers of dark blackberries and juniper offset by earthy, smokey character framed by a dash of oak and spice.
