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.

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.
