Region: Marlborough, New Zealand
Grape Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir
A Pinot Noir with vibrant red cherry, bramble, earthy nuances and warm spice. Silky, smooth, supple and well-structured.
Giesen select fruit from vineyards throughout the Wairau Valley in the Marlborough wine region.
The highly sought-after Wairau Valley is an ancient river bed nestled between two mountain ranges and bordered to the North by Cook Strait. Broadly speaking, this finite sub-region of Marlborough covers cooler, drier inland sites, barren stony, early-ripening sites to sea-breeze moderated coastal sites.
This scope gives Giesen the ability to consistently blend to their Giesen style year in, year out, which gives them a bright, aromatic and elegant style of Pinot Noir.
