This wine exhibits aromas of fresh citrus blossom, pineapple, passionfruit and hints of melon. This follows through to a weighty palate with Honeydew melon, grapefruit and nuances of lime zest. This wine has a natural weight and concentration that lingers on the palate before finishing with a crisp citrus twist. The son of farmers, Jamie found that making wine was a superior choice to farming sheep. In Marlborough, the small New Zealand region, the industry literally grew up around him. At Stoneleigh, the philosophy is less is more. Its about making sure everything they do has a purpose, not simply following tradition or fads. This minimal intervention style of winemaking invites golden moments that come together to let the wines and vines tell their own story. - Jamie Marfell, Chief Winemaker.

This Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is aromatically expressive and generously flavoured with freshly cut herbs, scrumptious tropical fruit with subtle notes of blackcurrant leaf. Winemaking is to emphasise everything that comes from the vineyards, to amplify the fruit to create the consistent Giesen house style. Specially selected yeasts are added to the juice to start fermentation. These yeasts help build texture, weight and aromatics in the wine. We batch ferment and stop these ferments at a point to retain some natural sweetness to help balance the classic Marlborough acidity The three Giesen brothers Theo, Alex and Marcel are proof familial relationships and business can work harmoniously, with good humour - and international success. Thanks to their Grandfather sommelier August, Great Grandfather Leonhard Kaiser who was a brewer and their parents who gave the brothers a love of international cuisine the trio had the drinks trade and hospitality in their DNA.

Pour yourself a glass of River Terrace Sauvignon blanc. It’s brimming with bright tropical fruit, Passionfruit and zesty citrus flavours, with a mouth-watering finish, we think you’ll love it.Over thousands of years, the Marlborough landscape has been shaped by rivers as they carve a pathway to the sea. Ancient riverbeds have created floodplains and elevated terraces, a unique geology that combines with climate to create a grape-growing paradise. Our four estate vineyards are planted on river terraces bound by water, the ebb and flow or the seasons have deposited free-draining alluvial soils that our vines thrive in. ‘Gorgeously aromatic and inviting, the bouquet shows feijoa, kiwifruit, kaffir lime and lemon peel aromas, leading to a delectably expressed palate offering terrific fruit power and purity. Wonderfully flavoursome and highly appealing. At its best: now to 2023’ – 94 Points
