Giesen Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2019

This organic Sauvignon Blanc exudes vibrant citrus flavour, delivered with length and complexity.

Grapes all sourced from the renowned Wairau Valley. The dry 2019 vintage created a bounty of intense flavour and quality for our Marlborough vineyards. From veraison throughout the growing season the hot, dry conditions favoured our vineyards as their location, predominately in the Lower Wairau Valley, provided vines with good access to water. This coupled with the warmth, created quality fruit with generous aromatics, concentrated flavour, texture and lovely natural acidity.

To create a Sauvignon Blanc with intense flavour and texture our winemakers separated the juice into three parcels and treated each one differently. One was fermented clean and bright to create intense aromatics, the second received a wild fermentation which adds texture and depth of flavour and the final component was fermented in oak barrels to create a wine with rich mouth-feel. The winemakers then tasted each parcel and blended to create an organic wine of intense aromatics and generous flavour and length.
