2023 Giesen Organic Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough

Wonderful aromas of passionfruit, guava, grapefruit, lemon, and elderflower. On the palate, tropical fruit flavours give way to subtle citrus notes of lemon and lime. This wine is generous and complex, with bright acidity supporting its long finish.

Giesen Organic Sauvignon Blanc is a standout wine from the renowned Giesen Wines, a winery based in Marlborough, New Zealand, a region widely known for producing some of the world’s best Sauvignon Blanc. Giesen has been making wine in Marlborough since 1981, and its dedication to quality, sustainability, and innovation has established the winery as one of the leading producers in the region.

Giesen Wines was founded by three brothers—Theo, Alex, and Marcel Giesen—who emigrated from Germany to New Zealand in the 1980s. Their vision was to create exceptional wines that express the distinctive terroir of Marlborough, and they quickly became pioneers in the region. Today, the winery is still family-owned and operated, with a strong commitment to sustainable practices and organic viticulture. The Giesen Organic Sauvignon Blanc reflects the winery’s philosophy of producing high-quality wines while respecting the environment.

20% of Giesen’s owned vineyards are organic or in transition. It is our viticulture practice to use organic philosophy throughout all of our viticulture management on all of our vineyards, not just our certified organic vineyards.

We see organics as being about improving our soil structure and helping the soil to hold onto water and nutrients. If the land is continually replenished, the soil will be healthy, and so will the plants and fruit.

This organic Sauvignon Blanc is from the Wairau Valley, from our Dillons Point and Stump Creek certified organic vineyards, along with fruit from certified organic growers.
