Expect aromas of tangerine, orange blossom, exotic notes of rose petal and orange marmalade. On the palate, look for citrus flavours, marmalade, and hints of nutmeg. A rich, vibrant wine with mouth-watering acidity and a long finish. Handpicking ensures only perfectly ripe fruit is selected. Following harvest the grapes were gently pressed followed by six hours of maceration to ensure their full, intense flavour was retained. Giesen Mosel Reiler Goldlay Riesling is a great aperitif or equally enjoyable matched with a meal. Germans love pork and Giesen Mosel and pork are a perfect match - try it with slow roasted pork belly or even a BLT.

Giesen Estate (Hawkes Bay) 2022 Chardonnay

A classic style of Chardonnay with stacks of luscious ripe peach and nectarine. Fresh and vibrant with a luscious texture, spicy cedar finish and generous oak influence.

After harvesting, fruit was pressed, settled and racked in Hawke’s Bay to preserve the quality of the fruit before transport to our Marlborough winery.  A portion of the blend was put to barrel (1,000L German Fuder oak barrels & 300L French oak) with the balance fermented in tank. The wine was inoculated with classic Burgundian Chardonnay yeast and aged on lees in French oak for 6 months prior to blending

Seared pork loin and seasonal roast vegetables.

Giesen Estate (Marlborough) 2023 Sauvignon Blanc

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.

Graham Norton's (New Zealand) 2023 Sauvignon Blanc

The palate instantly appeals with tropical fruit flavours dominating and a lively, balanced acidity that compliments the layers of ripe pineapple and citrus perfectly. It’s sunshine in a glass!

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."

Hunters (Marlborough) 2023 Pinot Gris

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.
