We are BRC Accredited
Giesen Wines is one of New Zealand's Leading Producers of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

 

So what makes our Sauvignon Blanc so special?

 

It's a combination of our soil, high sunshine hours, dry summers and low humidity. Our vineyards are scattered throughout 300 hectares of the Wairau Valley in Marlborough, where the soil ranges from shallow and stony to deep sandy loams. Each site brings different characters to the fruit produced. In summer and autumn, the warm days and cold, clear nights help keep the acid levels high in the grapes during a long ripening period.

 

The Brothers
 

 

All this comes together to create the crisp character intensity of our Sauvignon Blanc.

 

Established in 1981 by brothers Theo, Alex and Marcel Giesen, we're 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!
