Grape

Sauvignon Blanc

Origin
The Giesen brothers Theo, Alex and Marcel started the winery in the 1980s and today have 13 vineyards covering the length and breadth of the Wairau Valley.
Taste
This wine is blended from 32 separate vineyard parcels, vinified in the winery in the town of Blenheim. A richly tropical nose, dominated by youthful aromas of lime, lemongrass and green herbs. Fruit on the palate leans more toward gooseberry and citrus, with a zesty acidity.
Enjoy
Drink with a seafood risotto or paella.

    Very pleasant drink

    Enjoyable Sauvignon, could have done with a bit more 'umph' just tasted as though something was missing, dare I say a little watery? Enjoyable drink on its own, very cold. Excellent service from Majestic Peterborough, delivered 5 hours after placing the order, smashing service !

    Good - but not for me

    This was a full flavoured SB and I can see why some people would really like this wine. Unfortunately it was a bit too acidic for me.

    Really fresh and full Sauvignon

    Tasted great with sushi. The wine was really fresh and quite herbaceous. Will definately be buying some more!

    Not the best, but good value

    Slightly acidic, but by no means a bad wine. Great at the offer price. While the Ned's on offer I think that wine is worth the extra quid, but I'd happily return to the Giesen once the Ned's run out

    Good deal

    A very pleasant kiwi SB. At this price (5.99) a bargain.

Press Reviews

  • This is quintessential Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc (2011 Vintage)

    "A new addition to the Majestic floor and, whichever way you look at it, this is quintessential Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It has the lushness of passion fruit and the sourness of grapefruit making the palate zesty, albeit with some asparagus and lemon flavours too. A classic and a crowd pleaser (The Wine Gang, www.thewinegang.com, August 2012)"

  • Mouthwatering blast of zesty, verdant, nettle, grass cuttings and flowering currant pisazz (2011 Vintage)

    "This bowled me over with its mouthwatering blast of zesty, verdant, nettle, grass cuttings and flowering currant pisazz. All that, and closing on the zingy, tropical fruit note that has made Marlborough sauvignon so famous, effortlessly put Giesen ahead of the pack. Made with grapes from 32 plots in the Wairau valley, Giesen is just the job served with asparagus, or an Asian-spiced salad. (Jane MacQuitty, The Times, 21st July 2012)"
