This is an amazingly good buy. Viognier (Vee-on-yay) is a notoriusly difficult grape to grow so very rarely do we see such a bargain buy from this delightfully oppulent grape!

Perfumed aromas of white peach and subtle turkish delight. The palate displays delicious pear and tangerine flavours supported by deft lychee and spice complimented with a gentle sweetness.

This wine is drinking well now but can be cellared for up to 5 years.

Ripe scented tropical fruit and herbal aromatics lead into a salivating saline palate, with lively acid surrounding a core of fresh citrus fruit flavours.

The grapes for this wine were harvested in our Marlborough vineyard and transported to a contract facility for dejuicing and settling. The clear juice was transported by road tanker to our Katikati winery where it was fermented in stainless steel tanks.

Giesen Estate (NZ) 2023 Pinot Gris

Double Gold and Trophy - New Zealand International Wine Show

Each parcel of Pinot Gris is harvested at optimum ripeness. Short skin contact adds flavour and texture to the wine. Fermented in stainless steel tanks, we used very select aromatic yeasts to make the wine more intense. We stopped the ferment early to retain a small amount of acidity and natural sugar to give the wine it’s off-dryness. The wine was held on lees for two months to help build mouth feel & texture, then blended and bottled.

Hunters (Marlborough) 2023 Chardonnay

93 POINTS - Cameron Douglas MS The Shout NZ Magazine
2021 SILVER MEDAL The New Zealand Agricultural Show 2021

The wine has beautiful stone-fruit and ripe pear characters on the nose with some citrus undertones. The palate shows a tight mid-palate with flinty characters that lead into a complex and juicy finish. Good balance from the toasty oak character that compliments the fruity structure. This wine drinks very well on release but will develop and evolve over the next 5-7 year

Hunters (Marlborough) 2023 Gewurztraminer

93 Points - Cameron Douglas MS Shout Summer World of Wine

Winery note
"This is a single vineyard wine made with fruit from our Rapaura Road vineyard, next to the winery. The vines were planted in 1995 and while the planting plan is long since lost, we believe there are up to seven different clones and rootstock combinations in the vineyard. The fruit was machine harvested in two passes. The picks were fermented separately and then blended back together. The early pick lends acidity to the wine and a strong ginger flavour. The later pick has more classic Gewurztraminer characters – lychee and lemongrass."

91 Points - Robert Parker Wine Advocate (2022 Vintage)
"Concentrated and pure, with loads of flavour and structure" Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The epitome of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc but benefiting from the Isasbel Estate’s old vines and the soils on the south-western corner of the estate. Ascends with lush aromatics of fresh tropical green fruit, grapefruit and gooseberry, balanced by a refreshing structural flinty minerality and creamy textured finish. Drinks beautifully young but also develops intriguing characters with age.

This vibrant and award-winning Chardonnay style is 100% wild fermented in a mix of puncheons and barriques before it spends a year in barrel undergoing malolactic fermentation and extended time on lees. The result is a finely poised wine of power, complexity and texture brimming with notes of brioche, citrus melon, fig and vanilla notes and a sublime finish.

Italia (Veneto Italy) 2023 DOC Pinot Grigio

A fresh, dry white with gentle floral and citrus aromas and hints of spice. Crisp and delicate on the palate with lightly honeyed fruit balanced by lemony acidity and a fresh, dry finish.

From the Veneto, northern Italy, this wine is a result of a selection of the best quality Pinot Grigio grapes from mature vineyards, which were hand harvested in late August / early September. The grapes were crushed and gently pressed and the juice allowed to settle and clarify before cool fermentation at 16 to 18C in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine was aged for a period of 3 to 6 months on fine lees in stainless steel tanks before bottling.

A versatile wine that's a good match for seafood, grilled fish, salads and white meat dishes.
