The company strives to be recognized as New Zealand's leader in Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, with emphasis on consistent high-quality and character from vintage to vintage. The style may vary from one vintage to the next as determined by the season. However, every wine will display individuality and quality.
NOTES:Low-yielding grape vines grown in a cool climate make Giesen Wines unique. Complex fruit aromas make them enjoyable young, but refreshing acidity gives the wines backbone for long aging in the bottle.
