The Brothers Vineyards

Giesen Wines vineyards are situated in Marlborough, New Zealand.

Low yielding grape vines grown in a cool climate is what makes their wine unique. Complex fruit aromas make them enjoyable young, but refreshing acidity gives the wines backbone for long aging in the bottle. Wines with "Vintage Character" (something found only in the traditional viticultural areas of Europe) give a great variety of unique wines, year after year.

The Grapes

The main grape varieties planted are Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Wine Styles

Giesen produces a range of estate wines which aim for consistency of character and quality from vintage to vintage. This range includes a luscious, intensely flavoured Riesling, a vibrant, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc, a complex yet elegant Chardonnay and a succulent, fruit driven Pinot Noir.

Most vintages produce parcels of fruit or batches of wine of superior quality. These are bottled under a Reserve or Single Vineyard selection label. This range also includes a Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

The style may vary from one vintage to the next as determined by the season, however they will all display individuality and quality.

The Giesen Winery

We bought our first Marlborough property - the original Dillons Pint vineyard in the Wairau Valley - in 1993, and substantially added to that in 2001. In the same year the current winery in Blenheim was built, which has already been expanded several times with the ability now to process 6500 tonnes of grapes and tank capacity of 5.5 million litres.
