Vibrant aromas of passionfruit, guava and tropical fruit, with a whiff of blackcurrant bud. The palate showcases classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc characters of passionfruit, blackcurrant and guava, the ripe fruit flavour is complemented by an intriguing saline minerality an underpinned with a focused, but approachable acidity. Our Bull Paddock Vineyard is located in the Dillons Point sub-region of Marlborough’s lower Wairau Valley. The land was originally used for raising bulls, before the Neylon family realised the potential of the site and planted it in Sauvignon Blanc. The young, free-draining, alluvial soils now produce grapes with elevated aromatics and ripe flavours. We believe this sub-region grows the best Sauvignon Blanc in all of Marlborough.

A bright and memorable drop, named after the imperial Mt Tapuae-o-Uenuku, the ‘footprint of the rainbow’. Here in the South Pacific Ocean, Mt Tapi, as the locals call it, is a beacon that rises above the famous Marlborough wine region.

August Giesen (pronounced Aw-goost), born 1888, was a sommelier, restauranteur, hotelier, and a bit of a local legend in his native Germany. To Giesen Wines founders Theo, Alex, and Marcel, he was simply ‘Opa’. This elegant barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc displays all of the boundary-pushing characteristics of its namesake. Hand-picked and wild fermented with integrated oak, this complex and multi-dimensional wine is a fitting tribute to a legend. Fruit from two iconic Giesen vineyards make up The August Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2018 – our Matthews Lane and Dillons Point vineyards. Fruit from our Matthews Lane site adds rich ripe tropical notes, steely, wet pebble aromas and purity. Our organically-certified Dillons Point adds herbal notes, richness and structure. Wild yeasts add extra texture and build depth and length. With a tropical nose featuring passionfruit, guava and lime leaves, this is a multi-dimensional wine layered with toasty almonds, fresh brioche and incredible flinty notes. A carefully selected mix of seasoned German & French oak provides complexity and elegance.

With intense lemon, citrus and stone fruit aromas, notes of wild ferment and a hint of gooseberry, this fresh and vibrant wine is classic cool climate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at it's best!
