Giesen Wines
The Giesens converted a Marlborough dairy farm into vineyards in 1993, and now own or manage around 283 hectares (700 acres) in the region. These vineyards give rise to a diverse range of white, red, sparkling and dessert wines.
One of Giesen's top wines, the August 1888, is a Sauvignon Blanc named after the brothers' grandfather. Unlike the winemaking process for most Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs, grapes intended for The August are hand-harvested, fermented in barrel with indigenous yeasts, and aged on the lees for almost a year before bottling to create a richer expression of the variety.
